Hosted By
Pedro Varela, Software Engineer
I count with more than fifteen years of experience in software engineering more than a half of that lifespan I have specialized in mobile application development for Android.
"Software engineering" differs from "programming" in dimensionality: programming is about code. Software engineering extends that to include the maintenance of that code for its useful life span.

As an experienced Full Stack Developer, I am skilled in the latest technologies and have a strong foundation in programming. I have worked in a variety of environments, including agencies, enterprises, and startups. I am proficient in HTML/HTML5, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript, Angular, React, Node.js, Bootstrap, Material Design, and WordPress and backend technologies such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform.

I am a highly motivated and results-oriented individual with a strong work ethic. I am confident that I can learn new technologies quickly and adapt to new challenges. I am also a team player and enjoy working collaboratively to achieve common goals.
"Experience with these tools is highly valuable; but I have learned that my foundation in programming has given me the skills I need to adapt to new software and new ideas in the technical and digital environment which changes every day.”
