Father of two, husband and software developer, PHP user and founder of PhpCfdi. I’m deeply convinced on free software (as freedom) and the value of community. I would like to be a full time free software developer, but life is not that easy and I also enjoy my non-developer job.

As a developer

I start coding when I was about 10 years old using a lovely Atari XE console. A real lovely machine with BASIC installed. As I grow up, I start coding on more languages like BASIC, PASCAL or CLIPPER. At 15 I had a a 386 computer with no internet connection, so my work was limited to a very basic books and experimenting. At University I start coding on C/C++, VB6 and VBScript (for ASP pages). At 22 learn about Linux by working with Tuxteno and expand my horizons, learning more about OS, BASH, PHP, Python, Perl, C#, Javascript and similar. My primary language right now is PHP.
