Everything must have a beginning (About me).


Hi, my name is Angel Castillo, I am 26 years old and I am a software engineer at Smartmatic. I am currently living in Venezuela.

Since I was little I wanted to study Philosophy in college,  but after a twisted turn of events I ended up becoming a Systems Engineer instead. It turns out I actually had this crazy passion for programming that I didn't fully discover after I was well deep into my career.

I have programming experience in PHP, Perl, C#,  Java and C++ (all the content in this blog will be mainly focused on C++ although). I am also very interested in the agile movement.

What can you expect from this blog?

I started this blog for several reasons, first I would like to improve on my English, I don't always have the opportunity to communicate in any language other than my native one (Spanish) so this will be a good chance to fine tune my communication skills in English (at least in the written form). This will also be a good opportunity to talk and expand on the subjects and ideas I am interested in, often at work we don't have the time to sit and talk about any other project other than the ones we are developing at the company and my friends outside work, well they could care less about programming so this will be a good place to vent all those ideas.

I hope you enjoy the content.
