What I do?

I'm a software engineer with wide experience in development.

I've had the opportunity to participate in the development of exciting 🀩 projects that have helped me to learn πŸ€” actively. When I develop software my main goal 🚩is to solve problems with a clean 🧽, reusable ♻️ and scalable ⬆️ code. I'm always looking for πŸ”Ž how to improve myself and how to improve the code and its performance, this is really important πŸ” in large volume projects.

Adaptability and multidisciplinary teamwork πŸ‘₯, and seeking always to keep abreast of new trends πŸ†• in a world 🌎 of constant change, as is the development of software.

I recently started in the πŸŽ“ teaching world as a Frameworks teacher at LaSalleBCN (URL University).

On my free time πŸ₯³ I love to travel ✈️ and learning about science βš› divulgation.

My principles

  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» Write the code for your colleagues, not for machines.
  • πŸ› οΈ Pick the right tool for the right job, don't reinvent the wheel.
  • πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Don’t solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
  • πŸ«‚ Listen. Inspire. Learn. Share.
  • πŸš€ Don’t walk alone, the humanity didn't get to the moon by only one person.
  • πŸ₯‘ Be pragmatic, solve it and then iterate.

Interests

  • πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ Science Divulgation
  • πŸ€– AI Artificial Intelligence
  • β›“ Blockchain & Smart Contracts (Specially in Ethereum)
  • ✈ Travelling
