Summary

Software engineer with more than 12 years of experience in web development delivering multiple customer facing products.

My time at Lottoland (from 2014 to 2022) remains the period of my professional life that allowed to grow both as a web developer and as a IT professional. I managed to get exposure to wide range of technologies (from the LAMP stack: OOP PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS to finding my real passion for FE technologies: JS, TS, SASS, Node.js, Preact, including CMS tech: Magnolia and Wordpress) by having the opportunity to change teams and be exposed to different projects both from the product perspective but fundamentally to different tech stacks (starting with the SEO department, then moving into the Casino team and eventually the CMS team). Not only did I improve my programming skills but also developed my soft skills, as it granted me the opportunity to bridge development, UX and product in multiple products developed and delivered during my Lottoland time.

Proven effectiveness in verbal and written communication in both English and Spanish. Group work and organizational skills. Communication to different audiences (product, UX, developers, customers
). Having an eye for UX. Eagerness to learn from others. Patience in explaining anything to others. Commitment to deliver.

Experience working remotely for the last 5 years.
