Daniel Alves

Brazilian, 33 years old, graduated in business administration and living in Chile since 2009. Currently I'm aspiring to be an iOS developer. I discovered that smartphones and technology is what excites me; in fact, I am preparing to participate in the KeepCoding Engineering Master Startup Bootcamp (http://keepcoding.io/es/keepcodingstartupengineeringmasterbootcamp/) next year. For now, I'm working at Smec Chile as Supply Chain Consultant. Before, at Duke Energy Chile, I was responsable for the entire area of Supply Chain. I worked at Dule Energy for 2 years, and than I came back to Smec, where I had (and keep having) the opportunity to know the world of mining, copper and gold. As a consultant, I´ve been in many mines in Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico as well. I never thought I would work in those field. I liked it a lot and I think it's a job those opened my mind to the mine industry and specifically gave me the opportunity to know many models of supply chain areas. When I'm not working I like starting things. That's right! I have several books I started reading, several projects shelved, and several studies by half. Also, I do not give up having around my friends, who are few, but they are the best I could have. Interesting that most of them are away, or I am away from them, but still there is the friendship. Another thing I do not give up is always going out, visiting places, traveling, finding a good restaurant. And Santiago is amazing for this. Sometimes the best is staying at home even with a good wine and good music. If you have company, even better. Future? I think is not so good to talk very much about it. We reap what we sow. I try to reap what I want to spoon. I think there are many courses I want to do, many places to visit and many people to know. Each season of the life we have a person. And there are times you have no one. I'm in the moment of being with someone, but I'm still letting life drives me, “Carpe Diem”.
