Panoramio's creators are Joaquín Cuenca Abela and Eduardo Manchón Aguilar. We are friends since secondary school and we come from two small towns in the South East of Spain. Panoramio was acquired by Google on July 2007
I started playing with computers at 8 (1984) at first copying little BASIC programs and wondering what could possibly mean “ready>” in english... I eventually moved to more complex problems and switched to C much later (1992).
I have a MS in Fundamental Physics from the University of Valencia and MS in Computer Science from both University of Valencia and Paris Sud XI University.
I have been a active member of the GNOME community. I ported Abiword (a cross platform word processor) to the GNOME framework and I maintained Glade 3 among other things.
I worked in two companies in Paris, Celium in 2000-02 and Wizart 2002-05 working mainly with C on Windows, some assembler and a little bit of Java.
In summer 2005 I started to work on Panoramio in my free time together with Eduardo Manchón. I work full time on Panoramio from 2006.
Psychologist specialized in Human Computer Interaction, I have been working at the Usability field the last 7 years. I have a MS in Psychology from the University of Valencia and studied a couple of years at the University of Bergen (Norway).
Since 2001 I have written more than 120 articles about usability, user research methodology, strategy, etc. in Ainda.info (my personal site) and Alzado.org (co-founder). I also frequently teach courses and conferences all around Spain. I have been referenced and interviewed in several Spanish media.
For three years I worked in online banking in lacaixa.es in Barcelona designing user interfaces for web browsers, cell phones and ATMs. From 2004 to 2006 I have been an independent consultant in the field of usability.
When on July 2005 my old friend Joaquín Cuenca told me his idea about geopositioning photos in Google Maps I loved it, so we quickly founded Panoramio and launched on October 3th.
26 year old web designer from Málaga specialized in web standards and accessibility. I am in charge of most of the HTML/CSS from Panoramio and graphic design.
Since four years, I work professionally in design and development of web applications at Ávidos, a small company I co-founded. I frequently teach courses about web standards and accessibility in Madrid and Málaga.
I'm founder and administrator of Ovillo.org, a community about web standards in Spanish language with 1.800 members. Nowadays I finish my Business Administration studies at University of Málaga.
I met Eduardo and Joaquín when I was working at Loquo.com. Since then we are in touch, so when they proposed me to join Panoramio's team at the end of the 2006 summer, I quickly accepted.
