Having entered the world of computers at the tender age of 5, with a TIMEX 2048, I began programming in BASIC at 7 and I have since then developed my knowledge in several areas of IT.
I have several years of experience in different programming languages, especially C++ for game programming and PHP, HTML, CSS and Javascript for web development, which I started in 1994.
Regarding the World Wide Web, cross-browser compatibility, web standards and accessibility have always been one of my main concerns, and that has always made a difference in my work, placing me ahead of many competitors. I work exclusively with Free / Open Source software, which is another thing that interests me greatly, making exceptions only when there's no other alternative.
I am an environmentalist at heart and always strive to do what's best for the environment, as well as constantly trying to spread awareness of "little big" things that everyone can do but that can make a huge difference for everyone on the planet.
I have also always been connected to sports since I was young. Besides bodyboard, surf and MTB, which I do regularly, I practiced swiming for 9 years, rowing for 4 years (including a national championship and lots of smaller regional races), and Kung Fu since 1998, which I have taught on and off for a few years now.
I consider myself a person of principles, greatly appreciating values such as honesty, humility, righteousness, patience and loyalty.
