A bit of me as professional.
Online since 1997. Last three years (till Sep'09) I worked for some known online marketing agencies in Europe. September 2009 I started a new personal and exciting adventure in the other side of the north hemisphere.
SEO consultancy is 99% of my regular day there but I like to develop any kind of sites from time to time so my fingers don't get rusty forgetting how to code while I investigate SEO issues.
Before working on any internet related thing I studied Industrial Design and worked at Interior design an Architecture companies but soon I discovered that although I love art, design and architecture I was not made for it.
Besides that I enjoy family and friends. Cooking and playing funk music with my band are my hobbies when there is any time left. Also copyleft evangelism, specially in music, is something I've dedicated tons of hours in the last 8 years.
At Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, Google profile.
Member of IIMA, Vancouver Search Engine Marketing Group, and SEM Social Network.
