Javier Arturo Rodriguez
Hello, I’m Javier and I build stuff. I am an Electronics Engineer turned systems administrator turned software architect but I’m a coder at my core. I teach whenever I can and learn a lot from my students along the way. I am really happy to be here because have worked with other DisCOnauts at the P2P Foundation and Guerrilla Translation and they are all generous, smart, hardworking people with big hearts.

15th century Florence, for sure!

I hear Windhaven is beautiful this time of year.
Did you have an imaginary friend as a child?
What do you mean “as a child”?
