Software engineer, interested in free software and operating systems. Founding member of Igalia.

O Grove

I’ve been fascinated by computers since the 1980s. I taught myself to program on a ZX Spectrum, creating my own games and tools. At university, I discovered GNU/Linux and became inspired by the free software philosophy, which led me to co-found Igalia in 2001 as a way to turn that passion into my profession.

At Igalia, I focus on systems programming and operating system development. I’m also a long-time Debian user and contributor.

Beyond technology, music is a big part of my life. I’ve collected hundreds of records and love attending live concerts. I also enjoy traveling, cinema, swimming, and cycling.
