About

I love the fact you can work on an idea and put it online making it available to millions of people. Assembler brought me to the computer science world as I have been always fascinated how computers were programmed and later I began to be more interested on Software development. I have been working as a Software Engineer for research projects, startups and big companies. Based on my experience, I like to work on an agile environment and focused on Backend services part. I love architecture problems and to wonder how to scale the next big thing from 0 to millions of requests. During my career i have been also working on side projects, product of my passion, being able to put into live ideas like self discovery information surrounding videos (Utiltube), augmented reality to enhance tourist experiences and big data applications related to trend detections. Specialities: Entrepreneurship, Software architectures Technologies used: Backbone.js, Angular js, Spring Interested in: Agile software development, Continuous Deployment, Entrepreneurship
