I spend most of time building Enterprise Web Applications using Object-Oriented Analysis and Design in Java, Eclipse and Linux, some Perl hacking too.

Short History

I started working professionally in the year 1991, primarily in IBM mainframes using CICS, CSP, VSAM, IDEAL, JCL. 
In mid-1993 changed the mainframe by the visual world of client-server at that time, especially with Sybase, Visual Basic and SQL Server. 
Eventually i was invited to participate in some Multimedia projects, which in 1995 were entering our country. This period was very entertaining, and also was mixed with some development and introduction in my life of Case tools for modeling databases. After a year i hired again to work for Banks and Financial Institutions using Mainframes and some SCO Unix. 

In early 1997 I began to support a group of designers who needed to put database content on their pages, and so investigation lead me to Perl, i get caught and we started to build everything for the Web in Perl and th backoffice in Visual Basic all this with Oracle running on an old Sun 1000E. In late 1999 I was introduced to Linux by one of my colleagues, like many changes, “i resisted it, but it was the best I could have done”. Currently i pass my life between developing web solutions in Opensource platforms and as Consultant, Advisor and Teacher in various subjects related to Objects,  Java, Perl, Linux and the Internet.

Formal Studies

1988-1999: Programmer at Campvs Institute
2000 – 2003: Computer engineering at Campvs Institute.

For most of what i currently know i'm self taught with books bought at amazon, many thanks to the computer scientists who take the time to write what they know.

Experience

21 years developing software in many environments. In recent years I have been involved in Perl and Linux community. I have taught and spread the open source as a complete production environment and development, and have directed and trained several generations of programmers. Two major periods:

1991 - 1997: IBM Mainframes, VAX, Unix, Windows.
1997 - 1999: Web technology Perl, Visual Basic Oracle.
2000 - 2007: 100% Linux, Web Apps almost exclusively Perl and PostgreSQL
2008 onwards: Java, Eclipse, SVN, Trac, Tomcat, Ant

Teaching

In addition to several workshops with teams of programmers, I have taught at the following institutions:

    * Linux Center: Linux & Administration PostgreSQL, Java, UML
    * ITTraining: Linux & Perl, mod_perl
    * CIISA: Linux & Web Development

Language

Spoken and written English: 2006 graduate Listening & Speaking in the Chilean North American Institute.
