Hi! Welcome to my website.
My name is Manuel and my full surname is Martín Salvador (the first is from my father and the second from my mother). I am a 26 years old Spaniard born in the lovely city of Granada. Currently, I'm living in Bournemouth (United Kingdom) doing my PhD in Computer Science and working as a researcher in Bournemouth University. Some milestones of my education are:
- 1998 - Primary School @ CEIP Vicente Aleixandre
- 2004 - High School @ IES Mariana Pineda
- 2009 - Computer Engineering @ University of Granada
- 2011 - Master in Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems @ University of Granada
Apart from studying, I've been working as software programmer, researcher, web developer and system administrator. I also actively support free-software, open-data and open-government movements. For more information, please take a look to my CV.
My main hobbies are photography, tv-shows and reading. Actually, I had some photos in several exhibitions. But what I really enjoy is making my girlfriend and life partner Cristina smile.
