🏃 Experience
Granted, I don’t have a long track records of working on long term projects in companies; but I’ve been creating on the web since 2008 and got my first paid job on 2011.
To me this has been always more a tool to satisfy my mental need of inventing stuff than a career, and as such most of my effort has been working on side projects than on paid work.

Backend or frontend?
I enjoy frontend work more; I like the visual interactive stuff. I believe the backend is gonna be deprecrated by Holochain.

👔 Jobs (I was paid money)
Short Time Ago
Engineering Collaborator
Where: Lightningrod Labs
How long:
about 4 months
TypeScript
Holochain
Svelte
This is where I'm contributing right now. I'm working to nurture the Holochain ecosystem by experimenting with creating Holochain-based Moss happs, and contributing to the development of Moss itself. The environment is fantastic, as a team we are learning how to work together, focus, prioritize and be productive in a low-hierarchy environment. On a technical aspect, I'm mostly contributing on the front-end as my Rust is limited, but then there is a whole human, direction and organization aspect that I love to be involved in. I'm learning Holochain and Rust as I go. We're also working towards being self-funded eventually. LrL is non-profit in itself, and it's currently being personally funded by Eric Harrist Brown, who is currently at the executive head and one of the originators of the Holochain fundation. I still cannot believe I'm being paid for this, it's the best work agreement ever.

I was hired to build a system to track tweets and profiles on Airtable. Most of the work was done in JavaScript on the Airtable script and automation editors; due to the contraints it was very challenging.

Long Time Ago
I was onboarded specifically to work on a Ruby on Rails project for a client, named [Homeactions](https://homeactions.net/), that was creating a newsletter-as-a-service for the real state industry in the US. I was doing both frontend and backend work. On the frontend, I introduced React in some specific pages with a complex editor.
Official Factorio Mods Portal
Where: Wube Software
How long:
about 1 years
Web (HTML/CSS/JS)
Python
Flask
After having done an unofficial mods portal, the team contacted me to build the official one. Problem was, I had done it in Ruby on Rails, they wanted Python and Flask. I learned Python and did it anyway. After some time they continued in-house on their own.
After having built Mapa de Transporte, I was hired by Avalith a local company at the time, to work on a I built web apps and websites for clients. I worked with **PHP**, **Ruby on Rails**, and of course HTML, JS and CSS. For a year I was subcontracted to Piksel, a US company.
💎 What I value in work
- I value being able to work fully remote
- I value being given a challenge to do on my own time that is already making a contribution, rather than an extensive technical interview or tests
- I value a compensation of at least $30/h, and I’m flexible in terms of payment schedule
- I value autonomy and experimental environments where outcomes are less important than learning and innovation
- I value activities that resonate with me and my vision of the future; I value purposeful work that goes beyond just making money to survive
- I value flexible workweeks (which can include weekends) of about 20hs per week because they work well with the way I’m parenting my son
- I value treating each other and being treated as a whole human being first, and bring our whole resources as people to the team rather than become strictly our technical abilities. Being kind to each other, understanding, giving support and creating possibilities for all areas of our lives.
