Bruno Ferreira's journey kicked off with the venerable ZX Spectrum, a cassette player, and his hopes and dreams. He quickly realized he had more fun figuring out how computers work than he did actually using the things. Kicking off a developer career with C and Assembly before moving to scripting languages, he's worn many hats, including both database architect and systems administration. As a teen, Bruno co-founded a web development outfit where he was for 17 years before moving on to spend nearly a decade at The Tech Report as a writer, editor, and (of course) developer. In this decade, he's been at Asus, MLCommons, and HotHardware, among others. When not fiddling with computers and games, his love for music and production sends him off to live shows and festivals. Occasionally, he pretends he can play the guitar and bass.
