About me

Hi everyone! I am Juanjo Fernández, and this year I will be enrolled in the Fab Academy 2014 in the FabLab Leon, Spain. I am from Navia, a little village in the region of Asturias, in the Northwest of Spain, and since I was a child I have been always very interested in how things work. When I grew up, this interest continued mainly focused in electronics related things, so I decided to study the degree of Telecommunications engineering.

Nowadays, I have been working for five years as a research engineer in a multinational company developing electronics sensors and devices. My job and my personal interests make me, during the last years, not only be interested in electronics but also in 3D printing and other fabrication techniques, and this finally lead to discover the Fab Academy.

This year I had the opportunity to enrol on it, and I didn't hesitate about it. Although I know it will be tough to do this formation at the same time I am working, I am sure I will enjoy it a lot and it will be very useful for my professional and private life.

My hometown

I am very proud and the region I come from, and that is the reason I want to share with you Asturias beauty. As it's slogan says, it is a "natural paradise", where you can find from paradisiac beaches to very high mountains where you can climb or practice skiing, and test some of the best foods you can even imagine.
