I'm a creative Full-stack developer who likes to try new things constantly, from new programming languages and frameworks to drawing and dancing. I truly believe in the importance of being a well-rounded individual who delves into technical knowledge and topics but also explores artistic and communicational skills to connect and collaborate with other colleagues more efficiently.
I started my developer career at college when I studied computer science in Universidad Central de Venezuela back in 2010, where I learned the fundamental programming concepts, like algorithms, data structures and design patterns.
Not long after that, I decided to take a step further and enrolled in the Microverse program, where I learned not only the importance of soft skills, collaboration, and communication to succeed in the professional environment but also started my journey as a Ruby on Rails Full-stack developer. During this program I completed over 20+ projects using different technologies (JavaScript, React, Ruby on Rails) and worked with over 50+ colleagues.
The latest major project I worked on was TravelContact, where I helped to optimize the code improving the response time of the app in about 20% overall by making more efficient database queries and clearer ORM calls. Developed a flight auto completion feature by connecting the app with a flight real time tracker and developed the agent commission reconciliation feature.
The skills I've acquired and the stack I've learned so far include:
- Web Development: HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap
- Programming Languages: C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Ruby
- Libraries and Frameworks: React, Redux, Angular, Ruby on Rails
- Version Control: Git
- Database Management: SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL
- Operating Systems: Windows (WSL), Linux
- Software Development Methodologies: Agile, Scrum
- Developer Tools: GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Visual Studio Code, Heroku, Netlify, Render, Docker
- Professional skills: Conflict Management, Time Management, Effective Communication, Problem Solving
