About me.

Hey, Luis Monteiro on the line. 👋

Developer since the Navision days. Started in Portugal, later moved through Germany and Sweden, and now based in Luxembourg. Interested in AI, systems, tools, and the kind of technical work that stays interesting after the novelty wears off.

How it all started

Navision, 2008. Lisbon.

I was in Lisbon, Portugal, when I first encountered Navision. It was 2008 — nobody was calling it "Business Central" yet, and the world of ERP looked a lot more rigid than it does today.

But what grabbed me wasn't what the system could do. It was the question nobody else seemed to be asking: what can't it do yet — and can we change that?

That question has driven everything since. C/AL, AL, extensions, APIs, integrations, AI, tooling, workflows — I've always been happiest working at the edge of what was officially possible.

A life on the move

Portugal → Germany → Sweden → Luxembourg

The work took me across Europe. After years building experience in Lisbon and working across Portuguese companies, I moved first to Germany, then to Sweden, and later to Luxembourg.

Each country brought different industries, different cultures, and different ways of thinking about systems. Business Central was often the common language, but the deeper interest was always broader than one platform.

I'm currently based in Luxembourg, working across Business Central, AI-assisted workflows, and the tools and habits that make technical work better.

The milestones

Achievements & moments

🤖 2026

BC Copilot Hangar

After many requests, I started BC Copilot Hangar to share practical notes on Business Central, AI workflows, developer tooling, and the technical ideas worth documenting.

🇱🇺 2019

Luxembourg

Moved to Luxembourg to connect more closely with the local culture while bringing together the broader experience built across earlier projects, enterprise Business Central work, AI-assisted workflows, and technical writing.

🇸🇪 2015

Sweden

A chance to reconnect with old friends and experience the Nordic way of thinking about development. Still one of the best places I know to learn IT properly.

🇩🇪 2013

Germany

First major move after Portugal. Built experience across larger Business Central implementations and sharpened the architecture and systems side of the work.

🇵🇹 2008

Lisbon, Portugal — Where it began

Started working with Navision and never looked back. Spent years mastering C/AL, implementing for Portuguese businesses, and building a foundation that still holds today.

The new chapter

When the journal widened

For years, pushing limits meant knowing the platform better than anyone else in the room. Then AI arrived, tooling changed, interfaces changed, and the room suddenly got a lot bigger.

GitHub Copilot, MCP servers, AI agents, new writing tools, new development habits — they are not just productivity features. They are a new surface to explore. And I'm treating them exactly the way I treated Navision back in 2008: by trying everything, breaking things, and writing about what I find.

That's what this site is now. Not a structured course. Not official docs. A practitioner's notebook about AI, tools, systems, Business Central, and whatever technical questions keep proving interesting enough to revisit.

What's inside

What you'll find here

🤖

AI & workflows

Practical notes on Copilot, MCP, agentic tooling, and how AI changes daily technical work.

⚙️

Business Central

Still a core thread here: AL patterns, BC implementations, and enterprise software lessons.

🔧

Tools & systems

The apps, interfaces, workflows, and technical structures that keep earning their place.

Let's connect.
