Born in a sunny European shore in the 70s, proud Gen X fellow, I am happily married and father of two, and I must say my kids came to turn my life upside down.

I spent a few years in Western Europe being a teenager when I started exploring mental and physical borders around, travelling starting to play a major part in my life. After crossing 4 continents and more than 30 different countries, I found that happiness is only possible if you first know every corner of yourself.

Technology has been around all the time, belonging to the generation that saw the first PCs in our living rooms, played the first video games or dreamed with the possibilities that connectivity could offer with films like "War Games". I remember playing with a computer and scribbling in BASIC when I was 9, with a Sinclair ZX81. Many devices have passed through my hands since then.

My other source of emotions has always been motor racing in the shape of karts, bikes, off-road or track racing, to the point that I have gone into a few trouble riding vehicles before the age I was allowed to. Ferrari cars have been one of my all-time passion since I was lucky enough to get my ass on a 328GTS at the age of 14.

As I grow-up I have developed a taste for running and golf, which should be taking-up both my scarce health and time remaining...

I have been working in technology for the last 15 yrs to shape the world. I truly believe the last 30 years have only prepared ourselves to what's coming next. I'm enjoying the journey and I am determined to make the world a slightly better place. Why not start today?
