Introduction, About me, Hobbies and Motivation

My full name is Juan Miguel Valverde Martinez, as known in the Internet as lipman. In this blog I will try to write about my favourite field, computer science, more specifically about security in information technologies. I’m 21 years old and my curious personality made me go in deep into programming languages when I was 15. My first program was a calculator written in VB6, but I quickly turn my way off to web development, and I started to learn HTML and PHP.

But my world is not only reduced to computer science and technology. I enjoy nature related stuff such as senderism or trekking, and extreme sports (although I don’t do them because I have no time, no chance or no company for that). I like really much dogs, particularly german shepherd.

I’m currently studying computer engineering at Burgos, Spain (and probably also in Turku (Finland) and Zaragoza (Spain)). The reason of studying that is not only my passion but my desire to change to world, and I definitively will do it someday!

Despite of my studying place, I consider myself that I am from Lorca (Murcia) and Zaragoza, and these places will be always with me, but I probably will work out of Spain (I hope so).

Education

Until I was 7-8 years old, I have been in León, Mallorca and Lorca, but after that, I finally stop moving my ass in Utebo, Zaragoza.

Miguel Angel Artazos Tamé (Utebo) was my school until 2004.
IES Pedro Cerrada (Utebo) was my highschool from 2004 to 2010.
University of Burgos (Computer Engineering) is my current university from 2010 til now.

  • Databases: Oracle (medium), MySQL (low).
  • Mobile development: Android (medium), Windows Phone (medium).
  • Advanced experience using Twitter API.

  • Web developer (freelancer) of a twitter related module registration and login form in a Spanish social network (http://www.folou.me)

Personal Works

STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Life is about success and fail. I have a lot of failed projects and I’m proud of them, because I learnt a lot about them (even about myself) and I proudly would show them, but maybe someday I try to work on them again, so, at this moment, my fails will not be published, but are anyway also considered as personal works.

  • Twitter Fingerprinting Tool (published): Analizes a public twitter account using Twitter REST API.
  • Windows 8 Twitter client (will be published): enjoy Twitter in a different manner with interesting features such as multiple tweets and offline tweets in a Windows 8 metro style application.
  • Windows 8 Reversi (published): Implementation of Alfa-Beta algorithm in Reversi classic game.

Personal goals

  • Learn at least german and japanese.
  • Master studies (security, forensics or artificial intelligent).
  • Change some people lifes (professional and emotional).
  • Travel as much as I can, and meet new people and cultures to learn about them.
  • Learn about people behaviour.
  • Building a robot.
  • Give an online course
