About Me

• An open source consumer since 2012 and an open source contributor since 2014. An active Ubuntu Mate member since 2014 assisting with QA tests, and a official Ubuntu Mate team member ( QA engineer) since July of 2017.

From June of 2014 I made a YouTube channel made up of 2 types of videos: "How to", which shows step by step how to install / fix some applications / games. "Bugs in the OS", in which they show step by step problems in different versions based on Ubuntu that help Devs in reproducing problems.

And from March of 2015 I made a website that came out of the YouTube channel and the visitors requests. On this site you can find all sorts of tutorials ("How to", "Gaming", "Tweaks", etc.) in English for distributions based on Ubuntu. This site has been visited by over 98,640 thousands visitors and has received the approval of over 20 YouTubers appearing in their tutorials. There was two revisions of the website and at this time it’s in a stagnant stage because all my time it’s in QA tests. That’s because I can do much more good testing then doing some tutorials.
