About Tailor Maciel

Husband, Father, Son, Pet Lover, Entrepreneur and Aspiring Computer Scientist living in South America (order may change according to the circumstance :).
I enjoy engaging with people motivated by gratitude, collaboration and commitment to results.

Work experience

I have been working for over 20 years for the main raw material distribution companies in Brazil, with steel being the main product.
My main role has been commercially managing the supply negotiations.
During this period, I've discovered more than 1000 companies in the southern region of Brazil that consume the materials we sell.
I helped these companies form lasting relationships and develop mutual interests based on trust and understanding of key market dynamics.

My Career Path

At fourteen I started working as a salesman. It helped me to develop speaking skills and to realize that listening to advice and listening to the most experienced ones goes a long way in avoiding unproductive paths.
I understood that the best results and what builds lasting relationships is a Win-Win attitude.
I decided to study Data Science after completing a degree in Management Processes in 2016, given the profound transformation that has been occurring in the job market and in business relations as of late.
Since then, I obtained certifications by GOOGLE, HARVARDX and MICROSOFT in the field of IT and Data Science and I realized that to apply the new knowledge effectively it would be necessary to immerse myself in Computer Science.
I want to make business processes simpler, more direct and less bureaucratic, to give others the opportunity to put their energies towards something more satisfying and productive.
