His favorite computer topics are code analysis and optimization, XML, multi-tier programming, multithread programming and programming patterns. In 2005 he joined the Code::Blocks IDE development team. Among his tasks were a stage of optimization for the code completion plugin, the inclusion of the "Open Files list", and the organization for the conversion to Unicode.

In 2007, he ditched Windows for PCLinuxOS, and contributed with various articles to the hack.mypclinuxos.com forum.

His interests in multimedia are making Anime Music Videos, which led him to start searching for a viable video editing solution in GNU/Linux.
