ABOUT | PROJECTS | SKILLS | EDUCATION | EXPERIENCE | CONTACT
Software engineer skilled in development, integration, configuration and release management on UNIX/Linux, and Windows systems with extensive telecoms background.
More than 20 years of commercial experience working in agile teams. Added knowledge into web technologies. Curently slooking for a Full-Stack development role.
Since I graduated University in the Computer Science field, I have enjoyed a wide range of software engineering roles.
I have worked as a software developer over a mix of applications and real-time embedded systems areas, from manufacturing production flow, to telecomms protocol stacks implementation, and electrical measurement devices. I also worked as a software integration and delivery engineer in 2G/3G/4G mobile phones on the modem side.
I enjoy developing high quality, easy to read, and maintainable software. Recently, at Makers Academy I received comments about my code being "terse and well structured".
Software engineering is a very dynamic world, and I am always keen on improving myself. Web developement is a very exciting area and has interested me for a while. In the last year, I took the oportunity to deep dive into learning how to develop web applications that concluded by me joining the now renowned Makers Academy.
