Experience
Dear curious reader, if you have come to this page looking for my CV or professional information, follow the links below.
If you want to know more, I ask you to reconsider. Have you? I'm sorry, here it is — remember that you may find content that isn't for everyone, and I warned you. I hope it's not too harsh.
Although my first contact with a computer was in the early 80s, when I started studying computer science, it was from 1985 onwards that I got my first machine and produced my first paid programs — that was when I knew where my future lay and that this marvellous contraption would have a lot to do with it.
Since then I have worked as a programmer for much of that time, and in the field of the internet since 1997. Along the way I have taken part in some interesting projects, some my own, others working for clients.
These are the most significant milestones of my career in development:
0RI0N N0TEB00KS
From 1999 to 2019 — Head of development
The company I set up to manage a large part of the projects I worked on during this period. Without doubt the most fruitful years from a professional growth perspective. It has two divisions — hosting and services — that have managed numerous projects.
YLOS HISPANIA
From 2006 to 2008 — Head of marketing and communications
A good friend invited me to take part — thank you Josep — in the national rollout of an e-commerce solution aimed at extending the Ylos project through a franchise network. My work covered the commercial area, VIP client and distributor support, promotion and marketing, including content development for various portals and media outlets.
B2B COMERCIA — COMERCIACOM
From 2001 to 2005 — Head of development
The new technologies division of Grupo DHO. Together with Tomás, the CEO, I built numerous proprietary and third-party applications, including my first SaaS projects. For all of them I developed several versions of a PHP SaaS framework. I was responsible for training the development team and managing projects. After leaving I continued to provide hosting and consultancy services for several years. An interesting chapter in the lands of La Mancha.
INFOSEDE
From 2000 to 2001 — Programming
The first internet startup I worked at and the job where I learned the most. We built the first PHP framework for www.secompra.com with a top-level team and management. Like so many other projects, it was ahead of its time. Thank you Pepe for everything you taught us.
In the years before that I took part in several projects, all related in one way or another to new technologies. A period in which I gained the business experience that allowed me to grow professionally.
The most significant project of my early days was undoubtedly the creation of an automated system for printing a fax directory on paper. Given that this happened in the second half of the 80s, that was no small feat. It was quite an adventure I'll have to write about at some point — not least to illustrate what sheer recklessness and youthful drive can achieve, something that forty years on has still not left me :-).
