In 2017, he launched the Connecting Software development center in Madeira, and since then, he has been investing in the growth of his team, currently being recruited in the regional and international market, minded to attracting international specialists to Madeira in the sector. The company has four offices on two continents - in Vienna, its headquarters, in Slovakia and the United States of America - and employs 40 professionals, 12 of which are in Madeira.
