Welcome to my online portfolio
I have been building software for the web for 10+ years and I love every minute of it.
I'm a computer programmer by education and experience, and a bass player by heart.
Built the feed processing backend for the news aggregator Guzzle.
News are received by a PubSubHubbub subscriber implemented with Sinatra and sent to a job queue for processing: keyword extraction with OpenCalais, images extracted and uploaded to Amazon S3 and finally pushed to Guzzle's storage.
Container Consultants is building Mv-Fleet, an online system to help shipping companies reduce container rotation costs.
I spent two months in Panamá working with their development team as an architecture consultant and trainer. I'm working with them on the next version of their product.
Popego is an Argentinian Internet company building AI and innovative UIs.
I was the company's first hire in 2007 and worked with them until 2009. I wore a lot of hats there: Python and frontend development, sysadmin, helped build the hosting cluster on Amazon EC2. I even did some product management!
Design 21 Social Design Network is the sixth edition of the Design 21 initiative, launched in 1995 by UNESCO and Felissimo Corporation.
I was hired and flown to Paris by AREA 17, to gather and lead a team of three Ruby on Rails developers. We built and launched the site in less than 3 months
Right after launching Madame Figaro, Michel Martens and I were approached by AREA 17; GOOD Magazine's website was about to launch and it needed some optimization love.
We implemented the same caching system that was built for Madame Figaro and tuned up their servers for performance.
Madame Figaro is one of the leading fashion magazines in France. I was hired in August 2006 as a part of the team of 4 developers that implemented its new website in 3 months using Ruby on Rails.
The system we developed still powers the site, sustaining millions of hits per month.
The CSS Reboot was a community project put on by Adam Howell that brought web professionals from all over the world together to simultaneously launch redesigns of their sites and blogs
I built the site for the Spring 2006 edition with Ruby on Rails
Ariel Publicity's CyberPR is an artist promotions tool that matches bands to a database of over 10,000 resources based on different criteria (genres, region, tour dates etc).
I wrote the first version of CyberPR and the matching algorithm in 2005 with Ruby On Rails.
TracksLife was conceived to help people keep track of anything that can be represented with a spreadsheet/database that combine columns of money, numbers, paragraphs and boolean values.
Launched in October 2005. It was an early example of a "2.0" application made with Ruby on Rails.
I write code, twitt, take photos, blog in spanish, have a tumblelog, professional and personal profiles, listen to music, share links and posts, and upload videos. I also have a life.
