Igalia - Open Source Consultancy and Development

Software Engineer, doing open source at Igalia since 2007.

Jacobo has been tinkering with computers since earlier than he can remember. Upon reading the programming manual of an Amstrad CPC as a child, he decided what to do as a grown-up. He learned about the free software movement in his University years, forever shaping his priorities and future career. Gaming, food, languages or traveling are some of his other interests. Currently working on Chromium-based browser solutions.
