ABOUT ME
Senior Software Engineer
Senior Software Engineer

During the last 16+ years I've been performing the roles of Sr. Software
Engineer, VP of Engineering and CTO, building massive consumer and enterprise software products in many different vertical markets: social networks, marketing platforms, non-profit, video games, e-commerce, HR, Healthcare, Logistics, etc.
In order to achieve the goal of deliver a product I follow the next rules:

  • Clean and concise communication, no assumptions, exploration when is required.
  • The architecture needs to consider every aspect: efficiency, simplicity, modularity. Must fit with the requirements
  • The code always needs to delivered production ready: code reviewed, with tests and self documented.
