Isaac
I am passionate about technology, especially electronics, *nix operating systems, and computer architecture. I am dedicated to teaching Linux sysadmins, supercomputing and computer architecture at a public university. I love sharing my knowledge and experiences with the world through my blog and my encyclopedia on microprocessors El Mundo de Bitman, where I explain the operation and history of the most important chips in computing. In addition, I am also interested in hacking, Android, programming, and everything related to the hardware libre and free software.
