Web Developer with more than 10 years of experience with, not only the most popular Javascript frameworks as React, Angular and Vue, but also contributing with technologies on Backend and Mobile development. My passion for the final product taught me how to avoid over engineering and how to better work with multidisciplinary teams achieving a common goal.


Experience

Senior Web Developer

Avid Gaming, Dublin, Ireland

Avid Gaming is a software company dedicated to the gambling industry. My role involves contributing to creating the newest version of the bet card by adding features and developing components that improve the user experience by offering a much bigger range of bet options at once. Most recently working on the performance improvement in high demand areas of our system like our live events page.

April 2021 - Present

Software Developer

BetBright, Dublin, Ireland

Now called 888 Sport, BetBright is an online gambling company that brought me new challenges, career promotions and achievements over the years. Some of my biggest contributions are:

  • Sports Widget: A React component to help implement a list of events for any sport that could filter and organize the selections with different layouts like, sorting by category or grouping by date.

  • Event Generator: An internal Typescript tool to help developers and QAs generate fake data for tests. Started saving, at least, 1h from any individual working with events, but also with the potential to save up to a couple of days worth of waiting for inplay/live events coming from providers.

  • “Hackatools”: As the company never felt comfortable with the idea of “stop working” for a simple “social gathering”, my suggestion was a hackathon event focused on the development of internal tools to bring speed for our teams. This way we would not only bring new instruments to the company but also help to integrate people from different areas and exercise how we can be more productive and pragmatic in solving problems.

Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I'm a licensed USPA skydiver, PADI scuba diver, beginner skier and, every now and then, I go climbing/bouldering.

When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring photographer, and I spend a good amount of my free time watching TED Talks.
