Have worked in small teams leading development, designing platform architecture and developing mission-critical backend components as well. Specialties: Software architecture, backend design, requirement analysis, project management, server administration, development using both proprietary and open source platforms. Work Experience > Team Lead / Project Manager @ Sonata Services - 2014 - Present As the team leader my main duty is to provide the technical expertise and become a communication channel between customer and development team so code becomes business value to our clients, preferably working by SCRUM and agile methodologies. We develop a loan servicing platform (loanhero.com) that allows merchants in vertical markets to finance products and services through it by analyzing potential borrower data and matching them to the best funding options based on a custom made decision engine. Our full stack is integrated by Amazon Web Services infrastructure using Linux. We develop our backend, which is a RESTful API, using Ruby and Ruby On Rails as framework and PostgreSQL for relational data management. AngularJS, Node and friends are our choice for our SPA's consuming this platform. For management purposes we are heavy users of pivotal tracker for our SCRUM boards, github for code management, jenkins for continuous integration and deploybot for continuous delivery. > Lead Developer Consultant @ Incentibuzz / feedb - 2014 Requirement analysis, architecture design and lead development of a referal application (getfeedb.com) geared towards businesses seeking to incentive their customers and engage leads. This web application makes use of modern technologies with a mix of HTML5, jQuery, Bootstrap and responsive design for the frontend and a LAMP stack running on Amazon EC2 infrastructure for the backend using CodeIgniter MVC framework for organized and modular application development. As with any other modern startup web application, this platform relies heavily on standard web technologies and uses a bunch of third party service providers to leverage things like PCI-Compliant payment system, e-gift card delivery and mail queue using RESTFul interfaces to stripe, tangocard and mandrill (from mailchimp) to name a few. - GUSTAVO RUBIO linkedin.com/in/rubiocasillas github.com/gusrub stackoverflow.com/users/14533 > Founder / General Manager @ 42 Ideas - 2010 - 2014 As founder and general manager my main duty was to engage leads and customers as well as supervising product development. I was also heavily involved in project management for such products. We worked with very different industries, focusing on the financial/banking industry, more specifically developing a regulatory compliance platform used by both state and private banks around Latin America and the US such as Bancomext, Nafinsa, Banobras, Banco Interacciones, Banco Industrial, Goldman Sachs, ScotiaBank etc. We used both proprietary platforms such as Oracle (SQL Developer, Oracle 11g) and Microsoft (SQL Sever, SQL Server Integration Services, C#, ASP.Net) and LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySql/PHP) stack for our developments depending on the requirements and integration needs. > Lead Developer @ ArkusNexus - 2008 - 2010 Led several projects for the US insurance industry. An AS/400 integration platform to connect sales via a web frontend as well as an insurance "rater" desktop application and some helper tools such as insurers quote conversion backend that converted between different proprietary formats. • AS/400 integration backend to the new sales web frontend (agents would use those horrible green screen emulators before) • Windows service to migrate information nightly, curate it and put it on the web frontend for producer and agents availability. A mix of SSIS and windows server technologies were used to accomplish this. • Migration of an old C++ codebase component that produced premium quotes (a rater) to a new fully functional and modern .Net application where we used Infragistics components. This application was split in three components: the rater engine, which we migrated, the user interface that was using MFC and that we built on top of Infragistics/WinForms and finally the binary format component (this was a proprietary solution) that we kept on C++ for speed purposes but we called by P/Invoking from.NET > Software Developer @ SIGOB - 2006 - 2008 Led the analysis as well as development of several modules for a software platform called SIR which is implemented as public administration tool for property tax calculation, traffic tickets, permits, business licenses procedures, and many other local government related processes. This software has been implemented in many state administrations in Mexico and federal government as well. My main job was to develop the core backend which did the job of an ETL from other legacy systems such as sybase/ powerbuilder/foxpro which in turn consolidated that data to turn it into something meaningful to the newer system, using a combination of tools such as DevExpress XPO ORM, SQL Server Integration Services and ClickOnce for deployment of the app since this was a "Windows Forms" application although we used controls from DevExpress too. - GUSTAVO RUBIO linkedin.com/in/rubiocasillas github.com/gusrub stackoverflow.com/users/14533 > Technical Support @ SAIT - 2005 - 2006 Technical support and deployment of POS software "SAIT" application used in different markets and industries in northern Mexico such as Circle K convenience stores and as CRM/ERP in several manufacturing (maquila) companies. Worked on integrations between this legacy application written in DBase and Microsoft VisualFox Pro to existing platforms used by the customers.
