I was graduated in civil engineering in 2006. On the university I saw the GIS world, into an optative matter at the end of the career. Just after receiving my title, I worked in a project supported by the European Community in 2007, with the goal of protect natural resources in my region using geomatics. In that project I learnt the power of GIS in the management of natural resources. Then, I decided continue my academical preparation in a selflearning way, studying French and GIS.

My first autonomous experience after my graduation it was to translate from French to Castilian, the documentation of [http://www.savgis.org/SavGIS/accueil.html SavGIS], a GIS software developped by the [http://en.ird.fr/ IRD] (Institute de Recherche pour le Developpement), a scientific institution for international cooperation of the French Government.

At the beginning of 2009 I discovered the world of GNU/Linux systems and since that time I am a totally satisfied user and advocate of [http://www.fsf.org/ Libre Software]. I've had the chance of use operative systems like Venenux, OSGeoLive, all the Ubuntu's family and SLAX, among others. In the field of GIS software, I've learnt how to use of [http://grass.osgeo.org/ GRASS], [http://qgis.org/ QuantumGIS (QGIS)], [http://www.gvsig.org/web/ gvSIG] and [http://www.opengis.es/ Kosmo].

At the end of 2010 I had the opportunity of travel to Caracas (Venezuela) to the [http://www.gvsig.org/web/community/events/jornadas-lac/2010 2nd Latin American and Caribean Users Journey of gvSIG] and to the 1st Peruvian Simposium on Remote Sensing and GIS in Lima (Perú) to expose two works related with FOSS GIS.

At the end of 2011 I found Geopublisher (GP) and AtlasStyler (AS). I translated its interface to Castilian, guided by Stefan Alfons Tzeggai, developer of those two programs. Besides, I wrote a 130 pages [http://en.geopublishing.org/sites/default/files/Geopublisher_v1.8_ES_Manual_20111122.pdf/ handbook] and I made some [http://www.youtube.com/user/Geopublisher/videos video tutorials] about the use of GP. Due to my experience translating and documenting GP, I became an expert making digital multimedia atlases and I begun to work searching for its application in the resolution of social problems in my country.

In may 2012 I was invited by Stefan Tzeggai to form part of [http://www.wikisquare.de/ Wikisquare], the team that offers professional support for GP.
