It’s all about Passion
Short Bio
I’m an IBM Maximo thought leader.
Since 2009 I’ve been helping medium-large clients to successfully implement EAM/ESM solutions.
I’ve been blogging for over a decade, and coding for twice that. I have developed MxLoader and other useful stuff for the Maximo technical community.
This is my online home. If you like my work:
My Work
| MaximoDev | My Blog is the result of years of effort in sharing Maximo tips and tricks I have learned on the field. It now has more 250 posts and is the most recognized source of independent information about IBM Maximo. |

| Maximo Advanced Reports | Advanced BIRT reports developed for Maximo specialists and system administrators. Maximo health check, security groups overview, system configuration overview, etc. |
| WiFiEsp | Reference Arduino library for the ESP8266 IoT module. |
| ALA | Arduino Light Animation (ALA) is a library for Arduino boards to simplify the development of light animations using LEDs and LED strips. |
