I graduated as a graphic designer from Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1999. I specialised in Web development and I learned to programme using different languages, especially html, css, javascript, and php.
Over the past years, I have specialized in Drupal development, so I have detailed knowledge of module development, installation profiles (drush) and templates.
I am interested in new technologies and the interaction with new devices through adaptive web design.
I have specialized in managing high performance sites, combining new techniques for optimization and implementing accessibility and usability testing techniques to improve user experience.
I am always keen on attending courses, seminars and conferences related to my interest areas.
I have vast experience as a member of a team implementing agile methodologies (Scrum and XP). Besides, due to my knowledge and experience, I am usually consulted by colleagues about technical issues.
