Damn. I wasn't sure if you were trolling above and now it's clear that you were.

yeah!

jfc.

what a pompous, fake hipster mentality he has.

------------------------- About me

Ivan Montilla

I self-define as a challenger of the status quo.

Usually, I question trends. Normalcy is to be avoided. Some of the greatest opportunities lie where no one else is looking. I’m more of a niche markets guy.

My interests are ever-changing, but I’m currently interested in financial markets technology. I’m also passionate for software performance.

I do develop some software, but not professionally. I’m more of a power user of programming languages. I see it as a craft, both engineering and some form of art. ---------------------------
