About me

Nicolás Andrade I was born in January 1985 in Lanus Oeste, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'm a 27 years old self-taught PHP developer formed over years of work in different companies and as a freelance contractor.
I'm living in Montréal, Canada since end-September 2010, so I speak english at work and french in my personal life since then. Fortunately I'm a fast language learner, this enables me to communicate proficiently in both languages.
Most of the time I spent in front of a computer I use Ubuntu Linux -even when recording I use Ardour-, but I've worked with different distributions too, such as Debian -not so different- and RedHat/Fedora.
Besides computing, I like learning and playing the bass guitar. You can find out more about the music I like at last.fm
