About

Hello! I am Manuel Jesús Jaén López. Backend Developer, Team Lead and Tech Enthusiast.

I started to play around with computers when I was 8 years old. Since then, technology has been part of my life. From the tiny transistor to the CPU, from the single LED to the monitor, from the assembly to the high-level programming language, I've worked and enjoyed technology in lots of different areas.
