Since I was a child I had passion about IT and how computers work. After finishing secondary school, I decide to take IT specific courses before going to university instead of the traditional high school in order to gain experience within the sector. Now I am studying a degree in telematics engineering (Networks and Internet Technologies) in La Salle BCN since networking is what passions me more about IT.
Additionally, I like to learn other things my way, at home I have my own home-lab (an old laptop with VMware ESXi and some Mikrotik routers) running and hosting some services for me and my family.
