• Can you tell us about your first experience using a computer?

  My first brush with computers happened when I was four, at my dad's workplace. Occasionally, he used to take me to a university where he used to work. The computer was ancient, and it needed a physical key to start.
  
  The first program that I learned being five years old was Brice 3D and I could spend hours creating renders of mountains and volcanos.
  
  This marked the beginning of my career as a digital tool specialist in design.

• What is the technological evolution that has marked you most and what will be, in your eyes, a turning point in this field?

  The biggest tech change for me has been Artificial Intelligence. It's reshaped not just industries but also how we live. If used properly it can make the path to designing easier.
  
  The future turning point, I believe, will be the creation of quantum computers.

• Explain your expertise, your interest in it and, more broadly, its importance in the computer world.

  My expertise is design and architecture, particularly the digital tools used in the fields. My passion is fueled by the desire of my clients and colleagues to master these tools and methodologies. This niche area of the computer industry demands specialised knowledge, hardware, and a significant time investment. Non-digital professionals often require guidance to acquire these specific digital skills, and I serve as their conductor on the learning journey.

• Do so-called 'visionaries', such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg inspire you or do you have other role models?

  While luminaries like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg are undoubtedly inspiring, my admiration extends to the unsung heroes who tirelessly push the boundaries of technology.

• Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school.

  During my university years, my group and I faced challenging design assignments. It became evident that projects tackled collaboratively consistently yielded superior results, underscoring the triumph of collaboration and creativity over complexity.

• What would you say to an uncomfortable person in front of a screen who says that "IT is too complicated"?

  To those finding tech daunting, I'd say complexity leads to ingenious solutions. Just like learning an instrument, start small, seek help, and remember, experts were beginners too.

• What are your other passions, related or non-related to computers?

  Beyond my passion for technology and design, I am deeply enthusiastic about music, hand drawing, trail running, cooking, spending time with my family, and language learning.

• What makes you a Superprof in IT?

  I distinguish myself in IT due to my diverse experience, adaptability, and genuine interest in people. Whether in one-on-one consultations or group settings, online or in-person, my commitment to continuous learning and understanding the unique needs of others propels me to excel in the field.
