About me

I haven't changed much from the last times I wrote a manifesto:

  • On 2023 I wrote about my hobbies and what I like to do during a FOSS4G.
  • On 2021 I wrote about what the 9 year old me thought about where I live and how it has changed.
  • On 2019 I wrote about that my laziness make me do and redo things until I figure out how to do them efficient and fast, so the next time I do them I can be lazy.
  • On 2017 I wrote about how I arrived to OSGeo
