"That’s been one of my mantras - Focus and Simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."
Steve Jobs
About Me
Mexican indie iOS Software Developer. I'm passionate about iOS mobile apps development. The day the App Store opened its doors, I realized that was what I had always wanted: a place to distribute my little creations with the potential to reach large numbers of people. There is nothing more exciting 🙂.

Also involved in the creation of several screens of the app, testing and bug fixes.
