About me

Hey there! I'm David, a Spanish Software Engineer. My current main interests in the field are Distributed Systems, Software Architecture, Artificial Intelligence and Theory of Programming Languages.

I hold a BSc in Computer Science from Universidad de Sevilla, and I'm currently pursuing a MSc in Big Data Management and Analytics as part of an Erasmus Mundus program, which envolves cursing studies in three different universities over the course of two years. In parallel, I'm also studying a MSc in Logistics Management from the Open University of Catalunya (UOC).

Professionally, I've mainly worked with Python, TypeScript, and Java, but I'm a fellow Rustacean, so I try to sprinkle Rust into the codebases whenever I can (and make sense). I love learning new programming languages, and in the past I've written (non-trivial) code in Dart, C, and Scala. For what it's worth, I'm an Oracle Certified Professional: Java SE 11 Developer

I've written code all across the stack: data-pipelines, frontend (web & mobile), backend, etc. I'm a problem solver, I don't focus on the tools, I focus on the solution. Cloud-wise I'm familiar with AWS, I'm an AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate).

Mottos:

Focus on the problem, not on the tools

Simple is better than complex.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. (Martin Fowler)

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Off-topic

I'm passionate about History, I love reading about any Mythology, especially the Greek one. I also practice Karate.
