I pursued Architecture for about 13 years and could never quite catch her. Then I decided to swap my career and hobby, and started dedicating myself to web development professionally. I have a background in design but a passion for coding. I have taught myself (or rather let Douglas Crockford teach me) JavaScript. I also know html+css, full-stack web development with Ruby on Rails, and to a lesser degree with Django.

Lately, as I've become involved in projects as a strictly front-end coder, I've become acquainted with node.js as a build system, with tools like Webpack and Babel.

These days my front-end weapon of choice is Facebook's React, with Redux if the project grows too complex. I recently quit jQuery (with love and gratitude), but will go back to it if I deem it absolutely necessary. I'm also competent with D3 (data visualization) and Three.js (3D/webgl).

Miscellaneous bullet points:

• I'm a competent programmer in JavaScript, Python and Ruby (in that order), and have been teaching myself Elixir and C (because life can never be too complicated).
• I'm primarily a windows user but know my way around a Debian based linux distribution.
• I'm not a master class user, but I know enough git to be useful.
• I got started in coding with Adobe (then Macromedia) Flash, but nowadays I always prefer FLOSS. The only proprietary piece of software I use consistently is Windows.
• I make a point of being thirsty before I drink the Kool-Aid.
• I have experience with graphic design and 3D modeling, including scripting 3D applications, which I have tried to apply to the web using the Three.js libary.
• I have co-taught design studios and taught web-design courses.
• I'm a native Spanish speaker but also fluent in English (I can enjoy Thomas Pynchon and competently lie about enjoying James Joyce. I also like Terry Pratchett).
• I'm in the small minority of people who think that Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition was a great game. I also love the 5th edition, and enjoy playing (but will never run) Pathfinder. I love the idea of FATE, but have never successfully ran it. The last game I ran was Feng Shui 2, to much winning.
