Hi, I'm Manu.

I like to solve problems by writing code. I also like telling bad jokes at presentations, and writing about things I find interesting.

About Me

Learn more about my background, experience, and what drives me as a developer.

My Story

Since 2017 I've been working as a software developer for different companies. My journey started in Syloper as a trainee backend developer, and by 2021 when I left to join Endava Argentina I was already building monolithic apps and REST APIs in PHP (using mostly CakePHP).

Working for Endava has changed my mindset in a way I couldn't have ever imagined. I wouldn't say I'm particularly specialized in a single tool or technology, but I approach new projects and challenges as opportunities to help other people and grow professionally at the same time. This has brought me the joy of working with people from all around the world, for the most crazy businesses and verticals.

I firmly believe that hard work, good communication and a sense of responsibility to clients and teammates can overcome any technical shortcoming!

Experience

8+ years of professional development experience across various technologies and industries.

Education

Computer Science background (no degree though) with continuous learning through online courses and certifications. Highly value practical experience.

Passion

Building things that matter, that somebody cares about, that help people solve real life problems.
