About Me
Father. Husband. Pastafari.
Born in Barcelona in 1971, now residing in the peaceful peaks of Andorra since 2001. I’ve been crafting code —loving C#, Java, SQL, software architecture, and async patterns— for more than 35 years.
A former teacher, Blogger, Speaker, Geek, Microsoft MVP (2002–2016), MAP, MCC, and lively moderator in the golden days of MS newsgroups.
In 2007 I founded AndorraDotNet —the first .NET user group in Andorra— and hosted beloved events like Geek-a-palooza. These days I’m in a well-deserved retirement from public life (conferences, teaching, blogging, etc.), but still very active coding, exploring new technologies, and pursuing personal passions.
I’m Passionate About
- Coding & Tech — My lifelong playground, from early Assembler and Pascal days to exploring modern languages like Go and Rust. Over the years I’ve built deep expertise in C-like languages (C, C++, C#, Java, and more) and in enterprise-grade databases such as SQL Server and Oracle. I’ve also embraced the open source ecosystem from contributing code to leveraging frameworks and I’m a long time Linux enthusiast, appreciating its philosophy, flexibility, and role in modern software development.
- Photography — Capturing the raw beauty of mountain landscapes and sunsets across Andorra.
- Hiking & Trekking — Exploring Andorra’s trails, steep paths, and hidden vistas pairing tranquility with the thrill of discovery.
- Cooking — Experimenting in the kitchen, blending flavors, traditions, and turns of imagination (Pastafari style!).
- Family & Nature — They’re at the core of everything I do. Shared moments with loved ones (wife and daugthers) outdoors and over meals are what truly energize me.
- Other Interests — Mountains, sports, food, science, sci-fi, fantasy, feminism, human rights, traveling, atheism, friend and ally of the LGTBI+ community. Zero tolerance for fascists, racists, anti-LGTBI+ bigotry, anti-vaxxers, and pseudoscience. Autistic and proud.
