About

My name is Salvador Ferradás, but people know me as Salva. Since I was a child, I've always been interested in computers. At the age of 11, after saving up for a long time, I built my own computer. Currently, I maintain my own homelab with nodes distributed between Spain and France.

I started programming with Visual Basic and Matlab. Soon, I decided to delve into Python for everything related to data analysis.

That aspect of my previous job was what I was most passionate about, and as a result, I am making a career shift to become a full-time developer.
