Working With Rails

I have been coding since 1996 and writing software professionally since 2003. In 2006 I started developing web applications with Ruby on Rails and it still is my framework of choice. Other things I have done in the past include design of electronics and developing desktop applications and software for embedded devices.

I lived almost 8 years in Germany where I also studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies and 1 year in Ireland where I worked at Media Lab Europe, the European Research Partner of MIT Media Lab, until it’s closure in 2005. Currently I live in my hometown Las Palmas, in the Canary Islands, Spain.

In 2007 I co-founded AENTOS, a software development company. We develop web applications and apps for mobile devices.

In 2009 I founded the local Ruby / Ruby on Rails user group in Las Palmas: Las Palmas on Rails. You can visit the group site on Google Groups and on Facebook.

I’m interested in agile software development, testing, real-time communication, web services and SaaS (software as a service). I strongly support open standards and open source software.
