I've been working in software developing since 1996 but got my Bachelor degree in 2006. I have been taking differents roles in the SDLC either as a freelancer or working for big companies.

Known for excellent client-facing skills, I have participated in proposals and presentations that have landed six-figure contracts. I also excel in merging business and user needs into high-quality, cost-effective design solutions while keeping within budgetary constraints.

My technical expertise includes cross-platform proficiency (Windows, Unix, Linux); fluency in various scripting/programming languages (including Python and SQL); and advanced knowledge of developer applications, tools, methodologies and best practices (including OOD, client/server architecture and self-test automation).

My experience developing user-friendly solutions on time and on budget would enable me to step into a software architect role at Banco Occidental de Descuento Company and hit the ground running.
