I'm Emiliano Montesdeoca, an Uruguayan and Spanish software developer and Microsoft MVP in developer tecnhologies that currently lives in Tenerife, Canary Island. I began my journey as developer few years ago and I enjoy it every single day.

I really enjoy sharing about what I learn on daily challenges, that's why I give sessions all around the globe and write posts on my blog. I've learnt a lot from the community so I'm focused on giving back all the knowledge that I can.

As for personal stuff, I have a Golden Retriever called Nala which I show on every session I give, I love meat (Uruguayan huh), tattoos (I have a few) and flying around whenver I can.
