Pedro Uva: A Journey of Passion for Technology
From the first 386 computers to the era of Artificial Intelligence - a story of innovation, resilience, and digital transformation.
Pedro Luiz Uva Junior
São Paulo, Brazil • 45 years old
Born on 10/23/1980
The Beginning: The 386 Era
I'm from the 386 era. I had all the processors of that time - a privilege that my father's laundry business provided, even though it was very expensive back then. I've always been fascinated by technology, testing Linux distributions in the first kernels, when there were no drivers and the great challenge was making things work.
It was a struggle to configure video cards, sound cards, network cards... and the modem? But this difficulty taught me something fundamental: technology should be a bridge, not a barrier.
"It's not about having more tools, but about making technology solve real problems, with clarity and purpose."
Father, Palmeiras Fan and Passionate about Life
Family
Proud father of two children: Lorena (16 years old) and Henrique (25 years old). I was married for 16 years to their mother. Today, focused on personal and professional growth, always prioritizing family.
Passions
Palmeiras fan, metalhead, play guitar and acoustic guitar, enjoy a cold beer, play chess, cook, barbecue, smoke pipe, read, watch series and have an incredible connection with nature.
Adventures
I do trekking, hit the road on my motorcycle (I have a BMW R1100GS 1997), camp under the stars. I dream of geographical freedom: motorhome, Starlink, road - and continue delivering projects with autonomy and passion.
A Journey of Learning and Innovation
From first jobs to entrepreneurship, each experience shaped my vision about technology and business.
First Job - System Informática
At 16/17 years old, I worked at a technical assistance center fixing computers. That's where it all started - the first professional contact with hardware and the passion for solving technical problems.
UOL and AT&T - Telecommunications
At UOL, I worked in the call center for technical support for dial-up internet connection. The salary allowed me to pay for 2 years of Mechatronics Engineering at UNIP. Then I went to AT&T Latin America, selling fiber-optic links.
Lavanderia Umarizal - Family Business
I worked with my father at Lavanderia Umarizal. During this period, I started studying FOREX and developed Expert Advisors in MQL4 language for MetaTrader 4. Technology was always present, even in the traditional family business.
Um Investimentos - Financial Market
During the subprime crisis, I entered the financial market as a professional trader. I served a portfolio with about 200 clients, trading assets on the stock exchange. I went through various areas, always with technology involved in my responsibilities.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
I founded Respiro Aventura (I was featured on the cover of Sebrae Journal) and Engenharia de Conteúdo. Simultaneously, I operate as an independent trader and manage the family laundry business.
