'''I was born in Mexico but live in London, where I study Computer Science at [http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk University College London] as a first year. I started programming when I was 13, using TI-BASIC on a TI-83 I found at school (Ugh. It was horrible). Outside programming, I like cooking and subsequently eating said food.''' | '''I was born in Mexico but live in London, where I study Computer Science at [http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk University College London] as a first year.

* Why do you want to participate in the ESA Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so? '''First of all, I want experience working in a field I like - not finance or defense. I also want to contribute to a very exciting project with real-world applications. I also want to give back to the open source community.''' | * Why do you want to participate in the ESA Summer of Code? What do you hope to gain by doing so?

** Please also describe your previous experience with SoCiS, if any. '''I first learnt about ESA's SoC yesterday night. I had heard about Google's but I didn't know of what it consisted. When I read about ESA's summer of code I got extremely excited and applied here. Needless to say I'm aware of the basic mechanics of the whole thing, but not the intricacies in it.''' | ** Please also describe your previous experience with SoCiS, if any.
