I started programming with my first computer, a MSX SVI-728, when I was 8 years old. My first programming language was LOGO, the one with the little turtle. Since then I never stopped learning new programming languages like BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, Clipper, C and C++. When Windows was born I got into visual languages like Visual Basic, Delphi and Visual C++. With the launch of Internet I started learning web development, just with plan HTML, CSS and Javascript using a Debian operating system and Vim editor. Later on I discovered several web development frameworks and CMSs like PHP Nuke, Xoops, OpenCMS, Zope/Plone, Joomla and even the LMS Moodle. I ended up choosing Drupal and decided to learn everything about it. More than 10 years ago I became an expert and active contributor of the Drupal Community where I collaborate as mentor and speaking in conferences around the world. I was the leader of several important projects like the Sinch and Transcom new websites, Ericsson Intranet and Unicef Spain. Currently I'm co-founder of a Swedish ICT company and I enjoy myself surfing and kitesurfing on the beaches of Conil de la Frontera (Southern Spain). I am a Drupal-focused architect and developer with a track record of delivering large-scale, flexible web platforms for public sector and enterprise clients. My passion is building robust architectures, leading cross-functional teams, and continuously improving editorial and technical delivery through Drupal-based solutions.
