About Me

Driven by passion

My journey began under the pristine night skies of Southern France. That early fascination with the cosmos evolved into a career dedicated to technical precision. With a Master's degree and over 20 years of experience, I bridge the gap between software development, artificial intelligence, electronics, and automation.

My philosophy relies on three principles: Listening, Rigor, and Clarity. Today, I am the Co-Founder of Deep Sky Chile, providing remote hosting for astronomers worldwide.
