About Me
I know for sure that programming it’s my true passion, I want to write code every day until the last day of my life.
My first love history with a programming language was with Ruby, but then I started to play with Javascript and I realized that I loved it too, the same thing happened with frameworks and other languages (Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, ExpressJS, AngularJS, EmberJS, Go, etc.). I just enjoy so much learning and using any technology to make the computer bend to my will and solve real problems.
I’ve been using Ruby since 2007 and I think I know it pretty well by now, I’ve been attending to all the Ruby conferences around my country that I could pay for, I built a Ruby community in my city, I gave some technical talks about Ruby , I read almost every blog post on the planet and a lot of books about Ruby, I released some open source code…… but I don’t like to call myself a “Ruby programmer”, I am a programmer, a problem solver, I can (and I want to) program in any language or framework that’s best for solving the problem at hand, not because I know every language/framework, but because I enjoy learning new tools, I have what it takes, I understand the concepts and best practices behind the programming paradigms (Object Oriented, Functional, etc.) and these are common to every language, the rest it’s a matter of learning new APIs and syntaxes, and I have true motivation to do that because I enjoy it.
I like to write clean, readable, maintainable code and as decoupled as possible, I practice TDD when I think it makes sense, but I always write tests (back-end and front-end), be it before or after implementation code.
I am a full stack web developer, most of my work has been building web applications from scratch, from database design, passing through back-end logic, until front-end work with HTML, CSS and Javascript, so I can work autonomously without problems in any feature from end to end.
