My name is Fede and I'm a Software Engineer from Córdoba, Argentina. I work in IT since 2004, you can always reach me in LinkedIn to see more about me. My day-time job is basically analysis, design and development of real-time and high-performance microservices.

Since I have a lot of experience in these topics and I'm always learning new ways of teaching these new concepts, I can ensure that you'll get the most of them: because I love what I do, because I'm not a fake, because I work with these topics on daily basis I can bet my name on what I know and because I have all of these concepts so deep in my head that I can share them without forcing the process. You will learn a lot, I will learn a lot and we're going to enjoy the journey.

If you have any doubt, take a look at my LinkedIn profile, take a look at my YouTube videos. Make your own search before getting someone who barely knows what he's talking about to teach you wrong concepts.

I'm sure you'll enjoy these courses as much as I've enjoyed working on them. Godspeed!
