Independent Computer Software Professional
Argentina
I've done some sysadministration of machines running different flavors of GNU/Linux, as well as some software development, using python and frameworks such as zope and django.
I've been an executive assistant for more than two years now, and have been co-managing a company for little less than a year.
I love looking at macro and micro details of organizations, and finding places where things can be done better, and think about how to improve them.
I also do some amateur cooking which delights my guests, and I am eventually interested in building a business around it.
I've studied English for 7 years (and got an A in Cambridge's First Certificate test); Italian for 4 years in a Dante Alighieri Institute; French for a year and a half; Portuguese for some months (and have traveled to Brazil and have practiced quite); and I am currently learning some German. I love learning new languages and knowing new cultures.
I'm interested in traveling abroad and working for socially responsible companies respectful with the people and with high commitment to free software values.
