About Alberto

Hi! I am a software engineer in love with Ruby on Rails. I work remotely and have +8 years of international professional experience writing back-end code in Germany and Spain. I love to contribute to Open Source, specially to Ruby on Rails.

I have a degree in Computer Science by the University of A Coruña. Since I was eleven, computers and I are inseparable. I started my career in Stuttgart and Munich programming in Java. In Germany I learned how to work with high demanding clients in the German automotive industry and with tenacity, also to speak in German. Besides in German, you can also contact me in English, Spanish or Galician if you want 😉

After a while, I realized I wanted to see the sun from time to time and spend more time with my family, so I went back to Spain, specifically to Barcelona. In Barcelona I started using Ruby on Rails in my daily job (by the way, excellent decision as far as happiness is concerned). After some years being away, I decided it was time to really return home, so inspired by Basecamp, I convinced my company to start working remotely and go back to my home town, A Coruña 😉

In my free time I like to learn new things about many subjects (although they may seem useless) and read many books. I enjoy running and walking, specially near Tower of Hercules. I would like to have my own company, in fact inspired by our experiences in Germany I co-founded Kobabunga together with my wife, but it seems we will have to keep trying harder 😉 I love contributing to Open Source, specially to Ruby on Rails. I enjoy the feeling of giving back to the community and to be able to shape the software I use as I think it should be.
