At Igalia since January 2019.
Free and open source software enthusiast since 2000, when I first installed Linux on my home PC. For the past 10+ years I’ve been a software engineer mostly working in C++ and Ada on Linux and other Unix-like systems.
I also enjoy videogames, movies, traveling and taking pictures, but in recent years my free time has been mostly devoted to raising my two children. I’m also somewhat known for having started the youtube-dl project, but I stepped down as the maintainer some years ago due to a lack of time.
