About.
Since I can remember I've being in front of a computer. Most of the times, well... just playing games. I came all the way from Argentina to the sunny, humid and hot Texas to discover my passion for web design.
In 2000, during my first semester in college I looked for a way to save money when buying those expensive textbooks and it was then when I started to look in detail the different web sites. While browsing here and there, somehow, I began to read and search more about the possibilities of the web as a career.
This whole virtual universe and those who created it attracted me so much that I almost instantly changed my major from Business Administration to Web Development. Since that time, I've being studying, playing and most of the time working with this technology that revolve us.
In my spare time I like to go out and take pictures . I love to read; most of the books are related to web development and design of course, but occasionally I found myself reading a good novel, fiction or some art book.
