Santiago Gonzalez is probably the next Steve Jobs . He is a 14-year-old teenage boy who happens to be a programmer and software developer. At this age, he has 15 iOS apps to his name and aspires to one day work on Apple 's design team .
Already from the very tender age of 12, Santiago has been a student and by the time he is 16 he will have his first degree in computer science and electrical engineering. At 17 he will already have his master's degree.
Santiago is fluent in over 10 different programming languages. What's remarkable is that thousands of users have already downloaded and use some of the 15 apps he has created on a daily basis.
He follows a strict schedule every day. He wakes up very early in the morning with programming as his first concern and, as he himself states, he goes to sleep with his thoughts on programming. Many times, in order to rest, he leaves the settlement of difficult bugs, but wakes up with the solution formed in his mind.
One of Santiago Gonzalez's motivations was to create apps that would help people achieve something they wanted. As his parents say, he is a very mature child, but still a child.
He describes himself as a “nerd” and says that for many years while attending school, he felt helpless because he needed challenges that the school was unable to offer him. Those were the years when he was a victim of bullying by his classmates, who could not understand his personality.
The young programmer plans to pursue his next goal after his master's degree, namely a PhD in computer science at Stanford.
