.: About me.

Txemi Jendrix is the alter ego for José Miguel González-Pinto Díaz. I live in Bilbao since I was born in 1964. I have two beautiful daughters called Olalla and María.

I started with computing in 1988, with a Sanyo computer (a 086) without a hard drive and a green phosphorous screen. Since then I have always used a computer to do my job. Nowadays I own a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ with 4 Gb of ram memory, two hard drives (80 and 120 Gb), a 17" screen with a resolution of 1280x1024 and I work with PCLinuxOS as operating system.

I work as a graphic designer and web designer form many years now, and also as a private tutor (only Bilbao area). If your are interested in any of these two subjects, please send me a message using the contact section.

This is my CV:
