About the Author

My name is André dos Santos Lessa. I decided to follow an IT career when I was just 11 years old; that happened the day I first saw a real computer—well, actually it was just a TK85. On my next birthday after that fateful day, I got a TK90X. Then came the MSX, 386, 486, and so forth. This long-time background has opened many doors (and Windows!) to me. I got both my graduate and my post-graduate degrees in the computer field.

At this time, I am an IT consultant with little more than eight years of professional IT experience, ranging from database administration to Web design. Currently, I work for Emplifi Inc., where I use my best technical skills to support projects at Deloitte Consulting.

As I really like undertaking new technologies, mostly anything Web related, I've created and designed some interesting sites for the Web. www.lessaworld.com, www.bebemania.com.br, and www.alugueaqui.com.br are my little toys.

The most recent endeavour that I became part of is called iTraceYou.com, which is an international and well-grounded project that brings a new security philosophy to good old services that we are used to. It is scheduled to be released by October, 2000.

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but I moved to the United States in 1998 in a quest for new challenges for my career. When I am not working (just a few seconds per day), I try to spend some time with my wife Renata. Currently, we live in the city of Pittsburgh, and she is pregnant with our first child, who is called João Pedro.

If necessary, you can contact me by sending a note to my main email account, which is webmaster@lessaworld.com.
