About Me

I have been passionate about computers and programming since I was a boy. I started programming on my first computer, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum when I was 12 years old.

The last years, I became obsessed with Object-Oriented Programming and Test-Driven Development.

I am constantly looking for improving my software modelling skills and my knowledge of computers in general.

I support agile software development practices and open source projects.
