 Summary

I’m a proud husband, father, and technology enthusiast who enjoys software development by coding it, teach others and spread Open Source technologies. I enjoy learning, talk, and help others to learn about software development for the web and mobile by using my knowledge of JavaScript and C# with Xamarin, Asp.Net, NodeJS and other technologies.

I’ve worked as Software Engineer from more than a decade with .NET, JavaScript, OOP and software lifecycle delivering robust, scalable and secure solutions for desktop, web, cloud and mobile environments with hands-on experience including methodologies and best practices including DevOps, Design Patterns, Clean Code, Test-Driven Development, Refactoring, N-tier systems, microservices and architectural models.

 Experience

- Web front-end and back-end systems with different technologies including RESTful APIs, SOAP and .NET XML Web Services connecting business systems through HTML5, CSS/JavaScript, ASP.NET MVC applications and client applications including WinForms, WPF, Silverlight and Xamarin.
