| 41 | <p><a href="mailto:fernando_cacciola@hotmail.com">Fernando Cacciola</a> has |
|---|
| 42 | been programming since 1984 when he got his hand on a Tandy Color Computer |
|---|
| 43 | II for the first time. He started with BASIC at the time, but quickly moved |
|---|
| 44 | to Assembly Language to get the most out of the Home Computers of the time |
|---|
| 45 | (from a Sinclair 1500 [Z80] to a Commodore 64 [Motorola 6510]).</p> |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | <p>In 1990 he discovered the C programming language and started to work as |
|---|
| 48 | a professional programmer. In 1995 he discovered C++, and during his long |
|---|
| 49 | time employement in a company producing CAD systems, the fields of |
|---|
| 50 | Geometric Computing, Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Numerics in |
|---|
| 51 | general.</p> |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | <p>He studied Biochemistry at the John F. Kennedy (Argentina) University |
|---|
| 54 | for 4+ years, but had to drop because of his full-time job as a programmer. |
|---|
| 55 | He would complete a CS degree if he only had the time.</p> |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | <p>After 13 years of being an employed programmer (in just a couple of |
|---|
| 58 | companies), by the end of 2003, he became a freelancer and founded SciSoft, |
|---|
| 59 | a company specialized in technically/scientifically-oriented software.</p> |
|---|
| 60 | <p>Currently he is an active developer of the |
|---|
| 61 | <a href="http://www.cgal.org/">Computational Geometry Algotithms Library (CGAL)</a> and a member of the |
|---|
| 62 | <a href="http://www.computer.org/">IEEE Computer Society</a>, the |
|---|
| 63 | <a href="http://www.acm.org/">Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)</a> and the |
