As an ungergrad I am following a programme that leads me to a major in Electronic Engineering and a minor in Physics, that means that I have expirience in subjects such as Control Theory, Signal Analysis on one side, and Quantum Physics and Thermodynamics on the other; all with a strong mathematical background. | As an ungergrad I am following a programme that leads me to a major in Electronic Engineering and a minor in Physics, that means that I have expirience in subjects such as Control Theory, Signal Analysis on one side, and Quantum Physics and Thermodynamics on the other; all with a strong mathematical background. | ||

I hope to learn how programming is done outside of the sandboxed problems I have done until now (at Uni) while contributing to free software. Besides, I have been following the FSF for a long time, and been a free software user for longer, so this can be a way of giving back. | I hope to learn how programming is done outside of the sandboxed problems I have done until now (at Uni) while contributing to free software.
