I am a self-sufficient worker as well as a cooperative worker. I take my commitments seriously, I am reliable and persistent. I
am rarely late or absent. Organizational skills come naturally to me. On a team, I can provide structure and motivation to the
group. I usually remain realistic, practical, and down to earth.
Currently
I am a programmer and enjoy it very much. I work as Software Engineer at Unholster S.A., where I have collaborated in the
development of web applications for different clients, such as Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional, Transelec, Previred, Metlife, SII,

Professional Experience
As IT Leader at UNAB Online, I was involved in the production and maintenance of digital courses, deployed with Blackboard
Learn LMS management. There, I had the opportunity to develop abilities as a supervisor, instructor and project manager. I
also designed and developed their internal (instructional design related) processes management web system. That was my very
first Django project :).
I have worked with people of a variety of fields, from computational biology, to e-commerce analytics, to e-learning, to finance,
to software development. I have learned a lot of things on the road, and I have proven myself that it is always possible to take
new challenges and be successful on them.
