I am a programmer since the early 80′s in many platforms and programming languages. I’m an wannabe scientist, an experienced software engineer and a general hacker (in the original sense) as a way of life.
Innovation needs responsibility. Engineering needs creativity. Each software is a unique life form.
My main interests are algorithms, neuroscience, distributed and mobile computing, dynamic systems, complexity and chaos, game theory, drums, flying, archery.
Professional Life:
See my profile at Linked In for more details.

Artur C. Clarke Laws of Life
1st law:
When a scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right.
When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2nd Law:
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3rd Law:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
