ABOUT ME

Polyglot programmer and versatile software engineer with 16+ years of experience

I love technology and programming is my passion. I've been using computers since I was 6 years old in the 80's, and I've been programming professionally for over 16 years.

I really love learning new things, so I've used many different programming languages and frameworks, ranging from C/C++, C# or Flash/Flex to Javascript, but my expertise is deeper in JVM languages like Kotlin, Groovy and Scala, and particularly Java.

I love the linux command line and I always have a terminal open when I'm programming. I use Tmux as a terminal multiplexor so that I can have multiple terminals and navigate between them, and I use Vim as text editor on the commandline. I also use a Vim plugin for any text editor or IDE I use.

I like to share my knowledge and to mentor junior members of the team, so this platform gives me the opportunity to help many more people get to the next level.

35 years of experience seems like a lot, but I started using computers when I was 6 years old, with an Amstrad CPC 464 where I had to use the command line to run games, later on to play games on DOS as a kid/teen and modify Autoexec.bat and Config.sys to get enough XMS memory, to zip/unzip etc, later on with Linux... so overall I've been using the command line for over 35 years.

This project was an advergaming for a publicity campaign for the Pritt Glue Sticks for kids. My client was Ubica Below but the final client was Henkel (owner of the Pritt brand). It was a 3D world where children could upload their own creations (they would download a diecut, color it and upload it, and it would render as a 3D model) and they could move around the world to see houses, animals, vehicles uploaded by other children. The project is no longer online.
