My name is José María, but everyone knows me as Chema. I'm 26 years old and I currently live in Barcelona.
I love to travel and I lived and worked in different places as the Netherlands and Thailand.
I have studied Advanced IT for Business and soon I will finish a Master in Management and Development of Information Systems and Services.
I do web proffesional web sites since 2004. I have worked for companies such as sexole.com, barcelona-home.com etc. I have been working as IT consultant and team leader.
Also, I am the founder of Open Classifieds; the best classifieds software (period) ;).
Since I had my own first computer at the age of 12, I felt really interested in IT. Because of that when I was 18 years old, I started my profesional studies.
Apart from my studies, I like to study in my free time as well.

English
As I am Spanish, it is not normal for me to be fluent in the English language.
To change this, since 2006 I started to talk English with collegues and started watching only English TV.
To improve my speaking skills I lived more than 1 year abroad and now in order to improve my awful grammar I am studying in the official language school of Spain.
Currently I am fluently in English and I do all my daily life in this language; home, business, studies, leisure...
Experience
Since 2004 I work in IT. I had work in different IT fields like: sales, systems, webmaster, developer... and finally as a team leader for a small group.
Currently I'm studying a Master in the University of Catalunya, an advanced English course (Level 4 of 5) and working as freelance for small projects and developing Open Classifieds.
