Projects
I have too many ideas, not much time. I have started many small projects, some I had sold, some I have “deprecated them” , my biggest project is Yclas and the framework Koseven. Also I am a small shareholder in 3 other companies.
Languages
Native Spanish and Catalan, fluent English.
I did not learn English as a child, since was not normal in Spain. I love to travel and talk to people. I started learning by myself in 2006 hanging out with foreign colleges, watching only O.V. Movies and a lot of reading. To improve my speaking skills I lived more than 1 year abroad and in order to improve my grammar I did a course in the official language school in 2009.
Currently I am fluent in English and I do most of my life in this language; home, business, studies, leisure…, my wife is Dutch so we mostly speak English at home 😉
