CNC \ 3D printing \ PCB Fab facility
Costa Rica does not have much of an electronics maker(hackaday.io) market.
Especially for design companies it’s hard to create fully working and finished
prototypes. By building and providing a CNC production service for building
enclosures, pcb’s and parts, i want to help enable the makers market contributing
to development of consumer electronics development in Costa Rica..
Personal skill set
Having executed many assignments including management positions in Europe,
north America, Canada and Latin America as a contract consultant, I have gained
an invaluable experience and insight into helping finish any given project, Able to
quickly gain an overview of the matter at hands, and come up with realistic
solutions. Good communicator, persistent when dealing with complex issues and
driven to produce results.
Technical skill set
Frontend:
Javascript \ Jquery & Dojo \ HTML5 \ CSS \ SCSS \ Angular \ underscore \ maps \
ajax \ rest \ leaflet \ GeoJson \ Facebook \ Mailgun \ debugging (web) applications
\ cross browser development,
Working on React.
Backend:
PHP \ Laravel \ C \ bash \ node JS \ mysql \ mongoDB \ Cassandra \ ActiveMQ \
Amazon web services \ Facebook \ Google \ smarty \ mailgun \ git \ composer \
apache (htaccess & modules integration) \ linux \ debugging and profiling code \
php unit testing \ vagrant \ npm \ Grunt
In my PHP \ JS \ C development I have integrated debugging into my workflow,
as I have noticed this significantly raises the quality of the delivered code and
results in a better understanding of the instruction flow as well as a lower
maintenance cycle.
Recent Experience
Signal Secure
A Company that specializes in automotive hardware product development. For an
IoT hardware product there was a need to create a HA and linear scalable server
solution to handle the data. The requirements were high load (>1000 transactions
per second), failover, uninterrupted service and distributed data management. I
based the architecture on ActiveMQ, nodejs, Cassandra, Redis dynamic scripted
ec2. In order to linearly scale the server requirements.
