When I was a kid, the first computer that was bought by my family was an IBM PC with a 33 MHz CPU and 16 MB of RAM. My father knew nothing about using it, and it was interesting and fun that, together, we learned through the included books how to use it.Very soon I started experimenting with HEX editors in order to modify programs and see what my changes were doing to those programs, although I didn’t have a clue what all those 1 and 0 meant.The first programming language I’ve learned was VB6 when I was 15 years old. Using my knowledge of VB6, I’ve built my first application, which was used to distribute documents at a school.I knew that software development was my thing. So I got my BSc in Computer Science and Technology, and later on, due to the fast progress and impact that web applications had, I got my MSc in Advanced Web Engineering.Being involved in software development since I was 15 years old made me a developer who pays attention to detail and feels responsible for every aspect of a project. The passion that I have for my job makes me always want to work hard and don’t stop until I have reached my goals.I am always keen on exploring new programming languages and frameworks so as to evaluate and learn from them. The same thing applies for learning from the work of others and from possible evolutions in technologies. It is my personal belief that this helps me become a better developer and gives me the ability to provide the best possible results.I consider myself to be a team player who is not afraid to ask for help if needed, speak his mind, or provide help if it feels needed. I am always open to new ideas and questions that can trigger solutions to the problem at hand.Not being familiar with a certain technology is not something that scares me, since I am excited to investigate and learn about it. My experience gave me the ability to be a pretty fast learner. Getting feedback, both positive and negative, regarding my work is something that I warmly embrace since, in any case, it gives me motivation to improve.For me, software development is not just a job. Despite the fact that I also have other interests, I often like to work on small projects so as to relax and be creative.
