I was born on the 24th of March, 1979, in Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia, a region in Northwestern Spain.

I live in Mountain View (California), where I work as a software engineer for Google (but any opinions expressed in this website are mine alone, not my employer's). If you'd like to know what I did before, I have a condensed version of my résumé available.

My name is pronounced [xaˈkoβo taˈrio] in Spanish, although I tend to pronounce my first name [xaˈkɔβo].

If you'd like to send me an email, my address is my name at my surname dot org. You can also use the contact form.
