Joaquin Cuenca Abela

I started playing with computers at age 8 (1984). I have a MS in Fundamental Physics from the University of Valencia (Spain) and MS in Computer Science from both University of Valencia and Paris Sud XI University (France).

I have been an active member of the free software community, and in particular of GNOME.

I worked for two companies in Paris, Celium in 2000-02 and in Wizart
2002-05 working mainly with C on Windows, some assembler and a little bit of Java.

In 2004 Eduardo Manchón, an old friend from high school, and me helped Ubaldo Huerta with his startup (www.loquo.com) and a few months later loquo was adquired by eBay Inc.

In the summer of 2005 I founded on Panoramio in my free time together with Eduardo Manchón. I have been working full time on Panoramio since 2006. In 2007 Panoramio was adquired by Google, being the first spanish company that Google adquired. I have been working in Google as the tech leader of Panoramio since then.
