I am a researcher at Incipit, where I read, write, think, have coffee and also write code every now and then.
I have extensive experience in method engineering, software methodologies, conceptual modelling, software development techniques, technical writing and project management.
I'm also a partner in two businesses where we develop large software applications and services, and I participate in standardisation projects with ISO and AENOR.
You can also find me on LinkedIn and I keep a couple of blogs.

Latinoamérica, Hispanoamérica, or Sudamérica? Good answer. I'd add some examples. Sudamérica includes Argentina, Brazil and Suriname, but not Mexico. Latinoamérica includes Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, but not Suriname. Hispanoamérica includes Mexico and Argentina but not Brazil or Suriname. |

How important are accents in written Spanish? @hippietrail: -1 It's not a matter of style. Not using the necessary diacritics, or misusing them, is wrong grammar. As simple as that. |

Computer science, software engineer/developer, and programmer Decir que un desarrollador de software y un programador hacen lo mismo es como decir que un arquitecto y un albañil hacen lo mismo. ¡Así está la profesión! (Es un poco off-topic, pero atañe a la pregunta que se hace) |

Translating “How long does it take to get from <here> to <there>?” @c4sh: it should be "qué tanto" rather than "que tanto", and "cuánto" rather than "cuanto". |

Proper translation of a Cole Porter song title? @Alenanno: You are right. I pasted the link straight into the comment edit box and that's the outcome. As far as I know, I can't change it now. :-( The correct link is this. |

Translating “young man” and “young woman” @Gonzalo Medina: joven applies equally to males and females; in fact, using it for males only and distingsuishing females as señoritas would be seen as extremely sexist by many, at least in Spain. |

What are the main differences between Spanish in Spain and Spanish in Latin America? @snumpy: soft "c" and "z" in Spain don't sound like "th" in "they" but like "th" in "thin". Very different sounds indeed. |
