My name is Jacobo Tarrío.

I studied Computer Engineering (Ingeniería Informática) from 1997 to 2003 at the University of Corunna (Spain). It is a five-year University degree, with a degree project. My degree project was a web portal for accessing Grid supercomputing resources.

After that, I worked at the following places:

• At Alfa21 Outsourcing (Corunna, Spain) from January 2003 to March 2003 as a part-time programmer, and then from July 2003 to February 2005 as a full time software engineer.
• At Allenta Consulting (Corunna, Spain) from March 2005 to June 2007 as a software engineer.
• At Google from July 2007 to January 2010 in Dublin, Ireland, and then from January 2010 to the present day in Mountain View, California; both times as a software engineer.

I also took part in the following volunteer projects:

• I was one of the founders of the GPUL (Linux user group of the University of Corunna) in 1998, and was a member of its board until 2004.
• I was one of the creators of the Proxecto Trasno, a project for translating free software into Galician, and was its coordinator until 2004. I translated several GNU utilities, several Mozilla applications (SeaMonkey, Firefox) and the Debian installer. I retired from the project in 2008.
• I was a Debian developer from 2001 to 2008.
