How I ended up like this

First the basics, I completed my degree and rushed like hell trying to find my way after university in the corporate ladder, I started looking for place where the activities related to my skills where functional, I joined a Technology cluster based on the same city my university was.

They were almost eight companies working on the same building that place turned out to be a university and high school as well, so lots of noise sometimes used to make our work harder. It was a nice place though. The first company I worked for was in the apple equipment and repairs business, so if your want to know what’s inside an iPhone just shoot. Over there I learned how to assemble and disassemble iPhone and iPod devices, its interesting and exciting how lots of tiny pieces make a such amazing device to work.

Since I joined I was in charge of some small and big tasks including learning how to program for iOS devices, being in the apple business “duh” the company wanted to start making software also, it was kind of hard at the beginning the only formal training in programing I had was doing some basic PHP sites for small clients and school projects, including some Visual Basic 6 programming long time ago, in a Computer Science Technician degree.

So, I look at it as a challenge, at that time I had finished already al my hours at school and I was completely free to learn Objective C, Cocoa and more. After practicing my English thanks to a lot of hours reading Cambridge lectures about Ancient Roman history, and then switching gears to HOW TO PROGRAM books the technical reading became a piece of cake.
