About Me
My name is Paulo Sergio Ayub Filho, I live in Sorocaba,SP, Brasil and I'm 21 years old. My first contact with technology was on a Nintendo 64 back in 2000 and that develop my love for games.
When I was 10 I won a Kyosho RC car from my dad and that make me understand more about internal combustion engines, carburetor, servos and radio frequency, when I started the radios used crystals to identify frequency and there was a lot of interference, every time I when to the park to run my RC I have to prey for someone don't use the same frequency as mine.
At this time I started to go more often in my family Fiat Dealer, I wanted to learn more about cars and how to solve the problems I was having with my RC, specially about tuning, running temperature and some breakages.
On that same year I made another trip, this time to Cidad del Leste, Paraguay and I bought my first, and even more awesome RC car an Brushless E-Revo.
That's when I noticed how powerful and efficient a electric motors can be, that also made me learn about ESC, brushless motors and 2.4Ghz radios.
I started a YouTube channel in 2010 that was focused on games. The channel open my first business connection with a company, World Games, one of the most important and oldest game stores in my city, they have every thing at that time, games for rent, consoles for sale, console repair and overall best games stock in a 100km range, they thrust me as a marketing channel, they give me a one week rental and I give them 10 seconds of appearance on my videos.
Then high school years begin and in July of 2010 I had to make a surgery to remove a 2.5 centimeter tumor form my pituitary gland, it took 7 hours and the doctors couldn't remove all the tumor at once.
That tumor made me 2.05 meters tall (6ft 9 if you don't use metrics) that is 35 cm taller then my dad I stop pretty much all my hobbies just to keep good grades at my school.
Lucky enough I graduated and went to ESAMC business School and that's were I study now. I still struggle with my hight, specially when it comes to daily task like do the dishes and drive a car for example.
