About me: professional background and few random facts

I am a web developer living in a not-so-sunshiny but very diverse Barcelona, Spain. My web developer career started in the south coast of Spain in 2005 when a freshly started and developing web agency took me on as a trainee hoping to transform me into a passionate table-hater and div-fanatic. In less than three months I started building complete websites and ever since I've been persuading the dream of a perfect website. Yes it did cross my mind it might be just as impossible as a perfect crime, but someone has to keep trying! Shortly, w3c validator became my best friend, and later I picked up my new obsession for semantic web and worked hard to incorporate my coding principles into the company's standards.

The challenge in my work was very simple: to write the cleanest, shortest, cleverest xhtml/css ever, that would work in every browser and would allow for content changes in the easiest way. Few hundred websites later I can say: it is possible!

Along the learning curve I picked up some understanding of PHP and JavaScript, fell in love with jQuery and experimented with WordPress. I have worked with various content management systems, I have played part in planning and building one of them, and I've enjoyed the joys of project management.

In 2009 I left sunshiny south coast and moved to Barcelona to start working as a freelancer. While continuing building websites, I am investigating into ecological product market in Spain and taking on some courses planning to direct my future career into something beneficial for the planet and its people.

I have a beautiful Spanish mare called Flequi that stoically survived the move from Andalusian sunshine to rainy Catalonia and is now enjoying her life in the lovely stables surrounded by green grass and great riding routes. I do grow a selection of chillies, some herbs (all legal of course!) and tomatoes on my terrace and I dream of a house with a garden for my family.
