I
have never been overly impressed by academic qualifications. I think that
most people are capable of attaining one, if they have sufficient support
and dedicate the time necessary. I am pleased to be working in a sector
such as information technology which, while not overly regulated, still
allows freelancers to have, to a certain degree, a free hand in what they
do. I do not deny the value of training; in fact I consider that it is essential
to devote many years to study, in order to become a simple specialist in
any concrete area within the field of information technology.
Computing is like music, the real virtuosos start as children.
Although I have less and less free time left to "play around"
and it riles me to see that my colleagues are gaining the advantage in their
ability as programmers, I think that I can still boast about being good
with a computer in front of me, and I hope to be able to continue to do
so in to the future
...
It is essential to say that in my curriculum I am a Computer Science degree
holder from the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM), Technician in management
computing (IUM- Mississippi College), Certified Microsoft Engineer, Marketing
diploma holder From the Official Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Madrid
(COCIM), a Graduate in the Management of Commercial Art (Wesleyan Univ.)
and a Masters degree holder in Human Resource Management and Organisation
from the Higher School of Commerce Management and Marketing (ESIC). As well
as the infinite number of lesser courses and non-university training on
which I have invested a good part of my salary
With regard to my Career, I have been a pre-seller, quality control manager
of software, team manager of software development and finally, a professional
businessman.
I don't like travelling for pleasure very much, but it is something that
I prefer to do with the aim of discovering the world. I have visited a good
number of countries with the sole purpose of becoming acquainted with and
understanding at first hand, the economic and social realities of the places
concerned. In such a way, I spent some time studying economics in Oxford,
wandered around the United States, sailed to Cuba, flew as far as China
and travelled throughout Europe by train.
What I do in my free time is my own affair, but I tend to like sports in
which one competes with oneself. I also have a house that is chock-a-block
with books, I am a compulsive buyer.
Cinema usually bores me, most films do not reflect even a tenth of what
actually happens in the real world. I tend to think that the soloist dressed
in red you see singing whilst sat on the piano, is sitting in the pub next
door to the cinema, waiting for one of the audience members to spend the
price of the ticket on buying her flowers

Well!
Who doesn't like receiving an award?
My favourite part is when I have the opportunity of thanking publicly, the
people that have helped me, because in truth some of them have done so to
a great degree and in a totally disinterested way.
We could highlight: A special mention from a Lieutenant General from the
Central Military Region, for my contribution to the study of Internet in
the Armed Forces, First Prize at the Internet Factory at Recoletos (Madrid),
Entrepreneur of the Year at the Mississippi College (IUM) and finalist in
the award for Young Entrepreneur (AJE Madrid 2003).
