Inacio Fernandes Quintao
Inacio was born in Viqueque municipality (one of the municipalities in Timor-Leste), on Friday, March 03, 1989.

He is the eldest of 10 children. His father's name is Luis Fernandes, from Baucau municipality and his mother's name is Vitória Duarte Fátima Pinto, from Viqueque municipality.

Education
Inacio started his schooling at Elementary School in 1995 and finished his elementary school in 2001. Then he continued his education to Junior High School from 2001 to 2004, after that he continued his studies at Agricultural Engineering School in Lautem municipality from 2004 to 2007.

In 2007 when he finished high school, he wanted to continue his studies to become a priest but at that time he did not get support from his family, so he decided to continue his studies at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) - Indonesia. However, his desire to continue his studies in Indonesia failed because at that time it was not easy to apply for passports and other supporting documents due to the civil war case in 2006 which was still heating up everywhere in Dili.

Therefore, in 2007 he continued his studies at the National University of Timor-Leste – UNTL, taking two faculties in the same year, namely the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Economics. Starting from 2007 when he started his studies at the university, in 2013 to be precise in November, he had completed his studies at the university by obtaining the degrees of L. Agp and L. Ec.

Career
At the end of 2013 he received an order from Mr. Metan-Malik (a Veteran and Director of UNITAL University) asked him to open a UNITAL university branch in Viqueque municipality. At that time, he taught at UNITAL Class-F at the Faculty of Agriculture and Economics until 2014.

In 2014 - 2015 he moved to Dili and worked as a Project Designer and Project Supervisor at the NGO Caritas Diocesana Dili (CDD) for the HERA-ECOFARM Project funded by Caritas Macau.

In the following year, 2015 - 2016, he worked as a Program Officer and Field Team Leader at the NGO Kolegas da Paz (KDP) for the Alternative Pre-School Project in Viqueque municipality, funded by UNICEF.

In mid-2016 he was hired to work as a Data Entry Officer at Catholic Relief Services (CRS).

Then in 2017 he returned to work as a Field Officer at the NGO Kolegas da Paz (KDP) for the Community Driven Nutrition Improvement Project (CDNIP) which received financial assistance from the World Bank. After one month working as a Field Officer, he was appointed as Project Coordinator on the same project until 2018.

From 2018 - 2019, he worked as Head Program at the NGO Komunidade Hadomi Dezenvolvimento (KHD) in Viqueque municipality.

Then in mid-2019 to be precise in August, he worked as a Field Officer at Palladium International for the Market Development Facility (MDF) Project. After one year of working at Palladium International, he was given an additional position as Program Officer and Internal Communication Representative for MDF Timor-Leste until November 2021.

In December 2021 to be precise on the 6th, he continued his career as a Project Management Specialist at the USAID/Timor-Leste Economic Growth team under the General Development Office until now.
