I’m a Ruby/Python developer. I wrote my own simple compiler, developed an agile plugin, automated my tennis court reservations, as well as won the academic excellence award for best strategic plan from the University of the Philippines School of Management. My professional life is guided by my desire to continually make myself better at creating and delivering quality software. == Accomplishments - *Increased Module Accuracy and Speed by at Least 10x* - I offered to re-design and re-implement a cloud computing application's billing module which was producing incomplete results and regularly timing out before it could even display half of an account's report. After I redesigned it, the reports were displayed immediately, and the amounts were 100% accurate. - *Facilitated Timely Delivery of Software By Automating Requirements* - My employer needed to deliver an autonomous software agent for a customer. I offered to study the associated open standards and proprietary protocols to learn about the complete requirements. I then codified these requirements in an application that developers can execute against their code to give them instant feedback. The application later also served as a regression test harness allowing the team to deliver the software on time and within budget. More at http://www.relaxdiego.com/resume/
