David Gil Pérez

I'm CTO and main developer from https://qoolife.com, an ehealth startup providing online consultation services with doctors. I'm responsible from the product, full-stack development (frontend, backend and API), server and sysops. I also have worked in several side projects for fun, keep track of the news on the Ruby / Rails community and have released a couple of small gems to the Open Source community. I've had my share of mistakes, non-stop-coffee nights and I learned a lot in the process. I think I can help you save some hours and tears in your own process as well.

CEO for the past 2 years from Qoolife, an eHealth company working in the healthcare market in Spain and Latam. Before that I was Founder and CTO. Building a business is difficult, rewarding, exhausting, fun and some other dozens of mixed adjectives. Nobody can really tell you how to handle yours. But you should take all the advise you can get.

As CTO from Qoolife I've lead a mixed team of remote and in-house developers. Agile and remote are in the bones and blood of the company since it's inception.

Version control is one of the core traits any developer must master, no matter if working alone or in a team. I've lead a few teams of in-house and remote developers, being version control a key element for their success.

I've managed a big network of core routers and end-points of heterogeneous technologies, ranging from ethernet-lan to isdn to satellite connections, with mixed requirements from low-quality links to real-time communications. I defined connectivity layers and protocols, from routing to AAA, VPN to ethernet / ISDN / MAC ... although I'm a bit rusty, I still can cast a couple of spells in Cisco IOS. I was the engineer in charge of the of the first Videoconference between the International Space Station (ISS) and the Antarctica (Spanish Military Base) in 2007. Well, at least I was in charge of my side, which was the Antarctica base and the core network, Houston was still in charge of the ISS at the time ;)
