Life Synopsis

 * 1978 - 1998: Lived in Mexico City. From 1985 I attended the German School Alexander von Humboldt. Wrote my first program in Basic on my dad's Commodore 64. Learned to play guitar and then played bass guitar with Canis Lupus and Asamblea Resolutiva. Trained with the national flatwater kayaking team for a year (1997 - 1998) and competed at two national championships. Life was easy.
 * 1998: Moved to Regina, Canada to pursue a University degree. Had the opportunity to work at Nortel Networks exactly during the explosion of the Dot-com bubble, when its stock price plunged from CDN$124 to $0.69. Ran the Queen City Marathon in 4 hours 15 minutes. Made life-long friends.
 * 2003: Moved back to Mexico and did some research work at the National University of Mexico in the field of real-time sound spatialization in virtual reality. Recorded a demo disc with the rock band Flyspeck.
 * 2005: Moved to Hamburg, Germany to pursue a Master's degree.
