Hi there! This is Ale.
I'm a software engineer with over 15 years of commercial experience.
I started my programming career creating applications for investment banks in the financial industry and slowly transitioned into web development, using primarily Ruby on Rails and Elixir/Phoenix.
I have experience working on high-profile web apps serving millions of active users and smaller websites with modest traffic but terrific revenue.
I'm fluent in English and can clearly communicate with colleagues and stakeholders (technical and otherwise).
I've been working remotely for American companies for the past five years, doing mainly backend-related stuff but also playing tech-lead roles in a couple of projects.
I was employee number one at a couple of startups, and I'm used to working side by side with founders and CTOs, going from Plan A to Plan B to a plan that works.
I've helped companies build MVPs, scale projects, and maintain large-scale systems handling millions of requests every day.
I'm comfortable doing code reviews, pair programming sessions, and helping those getting started in our wonderful programming world.
I wrote Data Structures From Scratch, an ebook about creating essential, advanced, and persistent data structures using the Ruby programming language.
I live in Buenos Aires (UTC-3) with my wife and beautiful son.
If you made it this far, please check out my website for a detailed version of what I've been doing so far.
I'm always looking for new challenges and looking forward to chatting with you!
Thanks!!
