If you've spent any time in the Qlik Community lately, you've probably seen Eduardo topping our quarterly leaderboards! Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Eduardo is a Support Engineer at IPC Global, where he helps clients get the most out of Qlik, cloud platforms, and AI.

Eduardo's relationship with technology goes back to childhood. As he puts it, he was always "the kid who wanted to use a computer for everything, not just games." That early curiosity shaped a career path that has taken him through a technical degree in IT, a bachelor's in Systems Development, and most recently an MBA in Project Management.

He first started working with Qlik in 2017 and joined the Community around the same time, though by his own admission, mostly as a lurker. That changed around 2022, when he began contributing more actively, posting content and jumping into discussions. Ask him about his favorite Qlik product and he won't hesitate: it's QSEoW, and it's not close. "There's something deeply satisfying about understanding what's happening under the hood," he says, adding that performance benchmarking and optimization are work he genuinely enjoys.

What keeps Eduardo coming back to the Community goes beyond just giving back. "I help when I can, but I also learn a lot from the questions people ask," he explains. Staying close to the Community keeps him sharp on product updates and helps him solve problems faster. As he puts it, "for me it's not a 'need', it's a must."

Outside of work, Eduardo describes himself as a "self-entitled nerd," and he leans into it fully. He finds a clean OS install and opening up a PC to give it a proper cleaning genuinely entertaining. He collects knives, loves cooking (his social media, by his own description, is basically food, family, and blades), and is passionate about a good Brazilian churrasco. One caveat on the travel front: he loves to explore new places, as long as a plane isn't involved.

Eduardo also took a moment to recognize two people who have been instrumental in his Qlik journey: Wendy Wallace ( @wendywallace ) and Hugo Andrade ( @hugo_andrade ). "Their support and contributions made a real difference to me, and I'm truly grateful," he shared.

Eduardo, thank you for everything you bring to this Community, your expertise, your energy, and your willingness to both teach and keep learning. Please join us in celebrating Eduardo as our June 2026 Featured Member, and leave a comment below!

Hello Team,

I am working on writeback table for the User Entries. The requirement is when the User Enters the data, I want to store them in the backend and once I am reloading the application, those data appear in the filter, charts, KPIs and in the Table, also it shows the Updated data. I am not having S3 as connector to connect with Qlik Sense.  Available options I am having is PostgreSQL, Amazon RedShift, Rest API (Direct Access gateway), Athena (But this is a Query Editor not a Database storage)

Due to Access Limitation, I am not having a permission to create an API key. 

which would be the best option for me to discuss with the client for the Access.

Note: I am thinking of using PostgreSQL and connecting with Qlik sense using Username and Password.

I highly welcome your suggestion on the above-mentioned doubt.

Hello, community!

I found the second LogVoyagers, presented by @igoralcantara  and edited by @marksouzacosta , very interesting. It is always impactful to discover how a historical tragedy became an important source of scientific knowledge.

The post shows how famine experienced during pregnancy can leave lasting effects on health for decades, and how the data helped researchers better understand the relationship between nutrition, epigenetics, and disease.

Highly recommended!

I know Ideation is a thing. I use it. But sometimes you just want to share ideas in an informal way.

So, here's my personal Wishlist. No ticket numbers, no upvotes required. Just ideas:

Hi Community!

I just finished reading AI Art and the Punk Rock Response, written by @igoralcantara  on Data Voyages, and one sentence from the text really caught my attention:

“When in the Medical School, I took History of Art and some other classes in the university's art school. The very first question we were asked was: what is art? We are still arguing about what that means. We just have a new participant in the debate.”

I have always asked myself that: after all, what is art? I always felt that art was decided by “a handful of people” in the world: critics, curators, gallery owners, museums, and institutions that determine what does or does not enter the history of art. I also think there had to be a bit of luck involved in being noticed.

The text really connects with this thought by showing that the definition of art has never been settled, and now artificial intelligence enters as a new participant in this discussion. I found the comparison between AI and punk rock especially interesting. Punk said you did not need to master technique to create something real: three chords and something to say were enough.

More than asking whether AI can or cannot make art, the text invites us to reflect on who has the authority to decide that, and what role human experience, intention, and individuality still play in the creative process.

I thought it was an excellent read and highly recommend it.

Hi Community,

I found this episode great and very insightful. I still had some questions about the differences between the Qlik Luminary and Partner Ambassador programs, and the podcast helped me better understand each program and their role within the Qlik community. I highly recommend listening!

I am getting vulnerabilities on certain components in Package Cache eg libcurl.dll and node.js

I tried to remove them manually from the cache folders but this causes issues when I try to patch next time. While patching it gives error stating missing files, the only way to fix it I have to run repair.

Please let me know what is the right way to get rid of the vulnerable components from the package cache folder.

Good day Qlik Community!

In 1637, Descartes argued that no machine could ever use language to express genuine thought. He was asking the same question we are asking right now.

Four hundred years later, we are finally building the thing everyone has been arguing about. And it turns out we still don't have a good answer to the question he started with: what actually separates us from what we build?

My newest article on Data Voyagers starts with Blade Runner and ends somewhere more uncomfortable. Turing, Searle, Chalmers, Damasio, even Pinocchio. We asked what being human means and realized, partway through writing it, that we don't really know.

Do we risk becoming less human because of AI? Probably worth asking before someone else answers it for us.

Good day Qlik Community,

I know must of you are not yet subscribed to the Data Voyagers YouTube channel (if that's the case, I kindly ask, please do, it will help us and you will get some very interesting content).

For that reason, let me just point out to the latest content we uploaded. We have recorded several videos at the last Qlik Connect that are all under the "Qlik Community Talk" playlist. Check it out:

Community Talks - Data Voyagers

Today my team is celebrating 10 years of the first Qlik app we built outside the standard analytics use case. The Vicki Remote Logs Analyzer app is a monitoring application that compiles logs from multiple services across the environment. It started as visibility, then alerting, and eventually we wired it to AWS Lambda so it can trigger self-healing actions directly from the analytics layer.

That app changed how we think about Qlik internally. We already had plenty of dashboards and analytical apps. This one proved that with Qlik available at enterprise scope, if a data source exists, we can ingest it, model it, and act on it. The line between "BI tool" and "operational platform" disappeared for us.

The internal conversation is no longer "what should we build in Qlik?" It is "which platform do we retire next and let Qlik do the job?"

A question for the community:

What is the most unexpected use of Qlik you have built or come across?

IT operations, automation, security, internal workflows, anything outside the standard BI patterns. Curious to see what people are running with it.

Hi I will write a very small program for managing rest calls. The idea is to use JSON and maybe a format that other programs can understand. Is the Talend API Tester - Free Edition and option or is the file format proprietary? I need the format to be open and free. If no which format is best if the aim is to have something working in more than one program? Postman?

Hi All,

I defined a variable named vTotal Disputes Logged - Vol with the expression Num(Sum({<Status_New_Flag={1}>}Volume),'#,##0'). However, after publishing the app to Qlik Cloud, the variable does not evaluate correctly; instead, the text editor displays a completely different variable expression generated by a backend script for another purpose.

Actual Variable Expression: 

How it changed after pushed to Qlik Sense Cloud : 

But the same variable works well in the Enterprise environment.

and I noticed that everything works correctly when a user is defined as an ADMIN in the section access file, but errors occur when they are defined as a USER.

Help me find the root cause of this issue."
