About me

My primary objective is to provide as much value as possible to the people I work with, through the software that I produce. Thus, I have dedicated myself to commanding my soft and technical skills.

I can confidently say that I am thoroughly proficient in Python. I have been using this language for personal and professional purposes since 2016.

Furthermore, I have been expanding my skillset with the aim of producing clean code that follows the best practices and principles of the industry, which directly impacts on the inherent value that my work provides.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Systems Engineering, I like to read about tech and geek topics, and I am a huge fan of my national football team.

I can help you with...

Full-stack web development

Thanks to my domain of Django and client-side technologies. I am also able to deploy web apps on different platforms, such as GCP, Heroku, or PAW.

APIs development and integration

I use Django REST Framework to develop flexible and powerful APIs. I'm very familiar with integrating third-party APIs as well.

Relational and non-relational database design

I am able to model, represent, and implement different systems according to these two types of technologies.

Desktop development

Python can be used to develop excellent desktop applications. Eel, Kivy and SQLAlchemy are some of preferred tools for these purposes.

Mobile development

I have experience developing mobile games and applications, using technologies like Cordova, Kivy and GameSalad.

Modern UIs implementation

By using technologies like CSS, Bootstrap, and various JS libraries, I can implement modern User Interfaces.

List-Em

Full-stack developer

list-em.com is a website aimed to be a reference for tech and geek culture news.

I designed, developed and deployed the website, taking care of every detail on each phase. Technology used:

  • Django CMS: I adapted and customized the Django-CMS platform to fit the client's needs, always aiming to provide them an easy, powerful and intuitive way to manage their site.
  • MailChimp API: I integrated the MailChimp API to automate the process of sending assets to users who had subscribed to their newsletter.
  • Pinterest API: I integrated the Pinterest API to automate the process of uploading article's images on that social network.
  • HTML / CSS / JS: I customized the look of the HTML template bought by the client, to make the look and appearance of the site to be just as that they wanted.

Retos

Full-stack developer

retos.co is a community-oriented platform, that seeks to facilitate connections between different organizations and communities.

I participated in the development of new features, in the improvement of the performance of some views, as well as in the resolution of existing issues in the code.

Two of the views that I developed are the News, and the Co-creators list sections

Technology used:

  • MySQL: I used MySQL tools to ensure safe and smooth transitions between database migrations, backups, and restore processes.
  • Django: Given that the platform is built with this framework, I took the best of it to optimize the performance of different views and develop the new required features.
  • HTML / CSS / JS: I used client side technologies to work in the frontend of different sections, e.g: Search and Filter feature.
