Passionate for mobile technology, electronics and hiking up the mountains. I am always self-motivated
to continually improve my skills and knowledge throughout reading, listening, sharing and coding.
I am curious, kindly, meticulous and daring. Not afraid of changes, neither challenges; they
make you grow as a professional and as a person. Embrace them!
I started my programming adventure in this life when I was a teenager, on my own, developing web
pages with HTML, PHP and SQL. Since then, I've been always around computers, starting as a computer
repair technician in a computer store all the way to one of the most important companies in the
country, developing two iOS applications among plenty of other amazing projects.
In 2015 we (my wife and I) decided to move to Canada looking to grow professionally and eager
for new challenges. Since then I've been only focused on iOS development.
I started developing for iPhone 3, having to manually manage the memory myself, in a new
language for me as it was Objective-C. Years went by, and Swift appeared. Now in 2019, I find myself
using iPhone 11 and iOS 13. So much happiness during all those years!
I love what I do, and it's an extraordinary experience seeing people having in their phones the
app you have coded, using it every day, and getting a feedback about how much they like it and enjoy
it. Those words make me forget all the hours I've spent looking for a memory leak or any UI weird
different behavior between iOS 9 and iOS 10 ;)
On the other hand, we have also enjoyed ourselves travelling around Europe, Canada and USA for over a year in 2013 in a van, and some countries in South America, backpacking and hitchhiking, for over six months in 2019. I can't recommend enough to anyone to live such an experience. You can't realise how much we still have to learn. More info here.
Native iOS app written entirely in Objective-C.
The app was made mainly for tourists, but it was also very useful for locals. Users were
able to:
- See at a glance the traffic status of the entire country and see images in real-time
throughout all the cameras on the roads.
- See the available parking spots in real-time, their locations and how to get there.
- And other services like cultural events schedule, air quality, etc.
On the technical side and being the most relevant:
- Usage of CoreData framework.
- Custom UI in the entire application.

Responsive web application, including frontend and backend developed mainly in PHP, JavaScript, JQuery and AJAX. Integrated with the MikroTik API. This application allows businesses with a WiFi network deployed to have an automatic tool to have control over the users that get connected to the network and limit their usage time, as well as the bandwidth and make them pay for the usage of the WiFi network. Users just have to identify themselves by one of the social network APIs and then they might have to make an online payment if needed. WiFi owners on the other hand can extract user basic information and payments.
Conversion utility written in Java that allows users to transform accounting European standard format files into Andorran standard format.
