About Me
My name is João Elmiro da Rocha Chaves
A Portal Between Academia and Poetry: Meet the Researcher
Welcome to ElmiroChaves.com, a space where the precision of engineering meets the essence of poetry and the soul of history. Here, Angola’s vibrant memories, the Lusophone heritage, and the technological revolution converge, shaping reflections that celebrate the harmony of science, culture, and truth.
This portal reflects my life as a Cold War survivor in Angola, an electronics engineer by passion, and a poet inspired by classics like The Lusiads. Blending technical rigor with artistic sensitivity, I bring a unique perspective on technological advances, cultural identity challenges, and the echoes of Angola’s colonial past.
What drives me goes beyond recording facts: it is the search for truth beyond dominant narratives. Having witnessed the weight of propaganda both East and West, I reject distortions of power and the superiority complexes that blind entire nations. I believe truth does not belong to any empire; it arises from the meeting of multiple perspectives — European, African, Asian, American — in honest dialogue.
My writings range from detailed technical analyses to sonnets inspired by Camões, always guided by an unshakable commitment to integrity: evidence-based facts, balanced interpretation, and intellectual freedom.
This is my credo: to write in order to preserve memory, illuminate the present, and open pathways to the future — free from the distortions of convenience. A space to celebrate human progress, the transformative power of words, and the courage to think beyond empires.
I invite you to join me on this journey of investigation and creativity, where past, present, and future intertwine. Together, we can explore, inspire, and transform.
