Alejandro Pi\u00f1eiro Iglesias talking, I was born at Vigo<\/a>, but I have been living at Coru\u00f1a<\/a> for several years, since I was almost 5 years old.<\/p>\n

I always liked computer science, first because videogames (do you remember the Atari2600<\/a>?) . Technically my first programming language was LOGO<\/a>, but I don’t remember it at all. My first real programming language was Pascal, moving to C really quickly, all during high school. Later\u00a0 I coursed computer science at FIC<\/a>, and I became a Computer Science Engineer.<\/p>\n

Currently I’m worker and partner of Igalia.<\/a> Several of my free software contributions are related with different GNOME-related projects, mostly with the Accessibility Team<\/a>. My first public work was the ATK<\/a> implementation for Clutter<\/a>. This was the base of the accessibility support for GNOME Shell<\/a>. For some years I also became the maintainer of ATK. But during the past years I have been contributing to Mesa<\/a>, starting with the OpenGL Intel driver, and now with the Broadcom OpenGL and Vulkan driver, used on the Raspberry Pi series.<\/p>\n

About hobbies, I used to play the bass guitar, starting with a band created with some of my faculty friends, called SiVE<\/a>. In the past I was also member of the Coru\u00f1a Municipal Music School<\/a> jazz band, (example2011<\/a>, example2010<\/a>) and the indie pop-rock band Los Wattsons<\/a>. With them I recorded the EP “Toma 1″<\/a> and the LP “Escandalo en Bohemia”<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
