About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Jump of an airplane!!!!

ABOUT ME

Personal Description
I like to think that I am an open minded person (if that exist), educated, funny in my own way, interested in every kind of subject.
I´m graduated in Architecture, and I work in a construction company in Uruguay. I love cooking and drinking a good wine with friends, talk for long hours about any topic. I really hate to waste my weekends.
I used to think that I wasn´t a dance person, recently I discover that with the rigth mood and company I can dance for hours.
Recently I start to support Un techo para mi País , it´s a NGO who tries to eradicate extreme poverty building emergency houses (around 1500 houses until August 2009)and doing social work, now the project is making focus on build permanent houses and I will work in this project, if you are interested just follow the link above and maybe we can help to build a house together.
But in CS the best way of knowing someone is reading what they friends write about them, so if you want to know more about me, just read my references.

PHILOSOPHY

PhilosophyI can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying - Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen
