Hello, I am Fernando, a software developer from Madrid, Spain. I started dabbing in computers around 1986, and writing production software on 1999. Yes, that's when The Matrix was released <insert joke about how old I am>.
I am specialized in complex e-commerce and fintech web applications specialy within the Ruby on Rails ecosystem. I like leanring new stuff and sharing with others, I have taught programming courses and collaborated in tech events, such as Spainjs, or the Spanish Rails Conference.
I spend most of my non-working time trying to be a passable father and husband, but when time allows, I love reading some good sci-fi, cycling, or practicing martial arts, most recently: Sabre Fencing.
Languages/Frameworks
Recently brush up on my Python as a response to my employer needs
Ruby on Rails Working since 2006, speaking at events since 2009, organizing since 2010
HTML For so long that I learned the tags in UPPERCASE
CSS, SCSS, SASS Since there was nothing but tables and GIFs
Javascript, ES6+ worked for a year as a framework developer
- Coffeescript
I have also worked with Perl, PHP and Go and made some study or experimenting with Node, Crystal and Elixir.
