# Who am I?

Hello world! I'm a Full-Stack web developer from Valencia, Venezuela, but now
living in [Montevideo, Uruguay](https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2929054).

I have experience in front-end, back-end, and DevOps. New technologies fuel my
desire to learn more and more each day. I try to keep my code as clean as
possible, following established standards for the technology I'm using at the
moment.

I love Open Source projects. Knowledge should be available to everyone who wants
it.

You can check my resume in a more traditional format here:

# Experience

## [Lazer Technologies](https://lazertechnologies.com/)
> September 2020

In Lazer Technologies we are working for [Certn](https://certn.co/). Certn is an
app that looks to ease the employers jobs of doing criminal background checks
for their employees. First, we built an app that acts as a bridge between our
main app and criminal background check providers (like the
[RCMP](https://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/)). Now we are working on a scraper for
multiple providers that don't have an API. In this project we are using Django,
Django REST Framework, Docker, PostgreSQL, Github Actions and Jenkins.

## [Tarmac](https://tarmac.io)
> July 2020

I'm currently working on Tarmac on a project called "Volition". In Volition we
are developing a crawler that extracts information from different pages in order
to build a "super market place" for a specific product. In this project we are
using Docker, TypeScript, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes.

## [Massive](https://massive.ag)
Senior Backend Developer

> April 2019 - August 2020

I worked for Massive from April 2019 to August 2020. On my time in Massive, I
worked on one big project for Coca-Cola Mexico, called Tus Tapas Valen. "Tus
Tapas Valen" is an application that allowed clients to participate in promotions
and auctions, and win prizes. First I worked FrontEnd with ReactJS, Redux and
redux-observable, but now I'm working in the Backend. I had to plan a big
refactor while still working on new Backend functionalities. The Backend was
built using Python, Django, PostgreSQL, AWS, and AWS S3

## [Vascar Solutions](https://vascarsolutions.com/)
Backend Developer

> December 2016 - June 2019

On my time in Vascar Solutions, I have been in many projects, most recently on
Knac and Axelerist. "Knac" is a job application startup, empathizing on
assessments to recommend candidates to a specific job. I worked on the backend
with NodeJS, Express, MongoDB, Mocha, CircleCI, Heroku and AWS. "Axelerist" is a
web app that connects to an external API and displays the client’s inventory in
a more friendly and ergonomic way. I worked on the backend, managing the API
connection, working on an API wrapper and user management. The app was made with
NodeJS, Express, MongoDB, Mocha, CircleCI, Heroku and AWS.
