Experiences

DevOps engineer and Software developer

(2021- Today).

I am currently working as a DevOps engineer and software developer, developing projects in the insurance sector. As a DevOps engineer my responsibilities include the automation of applications following the CI/CD standard, developing pipelines in Jenkins; the creation of infrastructure environments in Azure with Kubernetes for the deployment and the management, monitoring and troubleshooting of these deployments. As a developer, my responsibilities are focused on the BackEnd development of several web microservices with REST architecture using Java with Spring Boot as well as its integration with FrontEnd (Angular), MongoDB and PostgreSQL.

Software developer

(2021).

I worked as a software developer providing consultancy for the banking sector. My responsibilities included back-end development of improvements and additions in applications, incident resolution, service maintenance and dealing directly with customers, all of which was supported by teamwork in a DevOps environment. Technologies and tools: Java, Java Spring, Bash, VB6, SQL, Oracle, SVN, Agile, DevOps, Jira, Confluence, MS Teams, MS Windows 10, Linux.

Teaching

Mathematics and science high school teacher (2021), Mathematics tutor (2014-2020), MS Excel trainer (2019).

I have a vast experience in the teaching sector, having taught and trained students, individuals and companies. This experience has helped me to solidify my mathematical knowledge and develop good communication skills.

Entrepreneurship

Instituto EMU (2019-2021), Método Isla (2018-2019)

I founded two training and coaching businesses: Método Isla for nutrition and Instituto EMU for productivity and learning. Both businesses have provided me with direct experience about the life cycle and the difficulties companies face; apart from a first contact with the web developing world. In the case of Instituto EMU, studying, practicing and counselling about productivity has given me an ample perspective of popular techniques such as Lean, GTD or the Agile methodologies.

Other experiences

Customer service in business consultancy (2020), Driver (2019), Street cleansing and maintenance operative (2013 and 2017-2018).
