Igalia - Open Source Consultancy and Development

Working at Igalia since January 2006, with a previous experience in 2004 as a trainee student.

I like computer stuff since I was a child, at first due to videogames. I like to spend the weekend chilling with friends, playing foosball, tute (a card game), darts, and occasionally soccer, although recently I have been playing less and less soccer and, instead, started to play the bass guitar. I have come to the conclusion that I play the bass guitar the same way I play soccer and foosball: in a rash, imprecise, and rough way.
