I knew Igalia thanks to the best final degree project prize in 2009 and joined the company in February 2010.
Pontevedra (Spain)
I am a passionate person about computing and telecommunications, especially in the field of computer security and operating systems. I think I can talk to machines to make them obey and will not give up until it succeeds, I love to know how things work and explore all the possibilities. Some of my hobbies are penetrating computer systems, playing with my pets, travelling to discover new places and reading books about science topics, specially everything related to quantum physics, astrophysics and psychology.
