Hi! My name is Ricardo Nagato. I was born in 23/sep/1970 in the city of Goiânia, state of Goiás, Brazil, and moved to Rio de Janeiro when I was a little kid. I still live in Rio and graduated here as a System Analist for the UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro).

Today I work at Datamec, an outsourcing company which is part of the Unisys Corporation. I am a System Programmer and I work with performance and as security administrator on the IBM mainframe.

I have also some experience in Windows environments and I've already played around with some web tools (Dreamweaver, Flash...).

My favorite hobbies are: movies, music, sports and travelling. I play badminton almost everyday and I am a director of the badminton federation of Rio de Janeiro (FEBARJ).

I love listening to the Blues and I decided to build this homepage just to give people some more information about the Blues all around the world (and also to learn a little more abou web design).

I speak fluent Portuguese (of course), English and some French. I'm also trying to learn some Spanish.
