Engineer by heart, a developer by trade. My goal as a programmer is to solve problems through software and help others learn to do the same.
June 2019 - December 2020
Working on SIGLE, an integral logistics platform for the Spanish Army, I program all across the current stack: PL/SQL, Ibatis, Spring, Struts, jQuery, DHTMLX. Besides this, I'm responsible for the ongoing development and application of a Best Practices guide, the renovation of the code, code reviews and, in general, anything related to frontend architecture.
I also work on a more modern project with Spring Boot, Angular, Ionic and TypeScript.
August 2013 - October 2017
Development of critical features. Reconstruction of idealista's Frontend stack from an old Dojo 1.6 based mess to jQuery, Grunt/Gulp and LESS. Testing with Jasmine and Mocha. ES6, Lodash, Ramda, Backbone, Nightwatch.
We've gone through a lot here. These last years have meant not only a very visible redesign of the major parts of the site, but also a complete re-structuring of the frontend stack. Even the frontend team has been re-structured this year. We went from a completely unkempt Dojo codebase to a highly modularized JavaScript stack based on Grunt, LESS, lodash/fp, and jQuery, and introducing usage of tests both based on Mocha or Jasmine depending on the project. As of late, we're gradually pushing ES6 usage, and some other interesting libraries such as Ramda.
We manage our tasks through JIRA, following some Agile practices. Our code is managed through Git. I was personally responsible for some critical developments, such as the listing publication process or the shopping cart. I've also helped the QA team developing a battery of Smoke tests using Nightwatch. As of the beginning of 2017 I'm in charge of the Frontend Architecture Department.
