Developer from a place called world

With 5 years of international project experience, I excel in every stage of development, from planning to client training. My broad tech exposure allows me to navigate complex landscapes, crafting tailored, innovative solutions that surpass expectations and drive business growth. A collaborative team player, I thrive under pressure, constantly learning to stay ahead of emerging trends and deliver impactful results.

Breaking the ice, Who am I besides a Developer?

Tech Lover

As a kid growing up in 90s Spain, I was gifted a shiny new PS1, igniting my fascination with technology. From that moment on, I found myself dismantling toys and game consoles, eager to uncover their inner workings. At the tender age of 10, I encountered my first computer. Despite lacking formal knowledge, I managed to circumvent parental controls, install drivers for a Wi-Fi dongle, and connect to our home network. The vast expanse of the internet opened up a world of knowledge, one that continues to astound me to this day as I discover new and incredible technologies.

Ex-Breakdancer

Despite being a somewhat rhythmically challenged child, I've always been stubbornly determined not to let my lack of talent in certain areas hold me back. It all started back in primary school when I discovered MTV dance shows with my friends. We were mesmerized, and from that moment on, I'd spend hours upon hours practicing, regardless of my initial lack of skill. I learned that perseverance triumphs over talent, and I was able to dedicate myself to dancing, even earning a living from it for several years. Sadly, at the age of 20, I sustained an injury that forced me to retire from professional dancing, but it will always hold a special place in my heart as a cherished chapter of my life.

Surfing Enthusiast

As the child of a Caribbean father, the sea has always played a significant role in my life. It's been my go-to place to disconnect and let my mind unwind. That's where I discovered surfing. Naturally drawn to challenges, I couldn't resist giving it a try. Despite never being particularly skilled (perhaps because I've spent my entire life in a landlocked city, lol), I find myself spending more time falling into the water than riding the waves. Yet, there's a sense of tranquility that surfing brings me, unlike anything else. So, you could say I do more than just surf the web!

Cultural Explorer

Driven by an insatiable curiosity for diverse cultures, I ventured across continents and encountered someone from a world apart. Fearlessly, I embarked on this journey, discovering not just new lands, but the depth of human connection. Now, immersed in a marriage that bridges two cultures, I've learned that love knows no boundaries, enriching my life with understanding and unity.

Take a look at some of the projects I've been working on recently.

Woodside Energy

Australian Oil Project

Involvement in the development of applications for managing various oil refineries' operations, billing, and tax processes. Facilitated migration from on-premises systems to cloud-based solutions, leveraging the latest cloud technologies. Utilized CI/CD practices for application development, incorporating diverse front-end frameworks based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture for user interface development. Employed Node.js for validation and business flow management, and SQL for backend operations, including table calculations.

Toyota

Australian Cars Manufacturing Project

Oversaw the migration of on-premises applications to cutting-edge technologies, integrating diverse client tools for planning, budgeting, forecasting, and financial consolidation. Implemented a multi-modal database system, optimizing data storage by utilizing in-memory processing. Developed a sophisticated algorithm for future sales market analysis, providing invaluable insights for precise production planning and stock management. Engineered 64 applications for data analysis, master data management, and manufacturing control, utilizing front-end frameworks with a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. Employed Node.js middleware for robust business logic control, including comprehensive data validation and processing mechanisms.

Repsol

Spanish Oil Project

As a member of the full-stack development team, I contributed to the migration of on-premise applications to the cloud, utilizing a range of technologies such as Fiori Elements extended with UI5 for the frontend, and BOPF and ABAP CDS for entity definition, annotations, and business validations. We also facilitated integration with different systems by creating tables in the on-premise system and exposing them through OData services. Additionally, we developed a comprehensive application for report generation across all Repsol sites, spanning locations like Spain, Canada, and others.

Our team engineered a sophisticated application with a robust data processing layer, ensuring compliance with Regulation 060 on Investments, Disinvestments, and Expenses. This application seamlessly integrated with various systems while providing valuable insights and facilitating precise decision-making.
