2015

Stack: Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL

As a freelance developer I developed an application for a political party in Argentina where they could keep track of all the projects presented at the city council and make it accesible to the general public. So a non-politician person can learn about the projects being presented, which one were approved, which weren't and find out how each political party voted a specific project. Users also can see a map with the locations of all projects so they can discover what is happening near their areas of interest, users also can subscribe to a newsletter so they can be informed when new projects arrive at specific areas.

Awesomness level

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. --Martin Fowler

Awesome coding skills

I keep coding standards because I think the best applications are coded properly. This sounds like an obvious statement, but by ‘properly’, I mean that the code not only does its job well, but is also easy to add to, maintain and debug.

Working on improving my skills

I am always searching for new ways to improve my skills. I take online courses in Coursera and Udacity (the last one I took was in AI) and every day I spend at least one hour trying to improve one of my skills. I also read a lot of technological magazines and constantly try new technologies or frameworks.

There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult. --C.A.R. Hoare
