I was born in 11/08/1986 and from 9 years old ( when my parents bought me my first Nintendo GameBoy ) I started to be interested in computers and electronics.. I learned my first programming language when 16 years old and since then I have consistently improved my skills both in computer science as theory but also in practice writting lots and lots of code..!

Highlights in my life until now have been :
