I'm a full stack developer, currently working in Hong Kong with Angular 2 / Ionic 2 building mobile apps in the finnancial / fintech space. It's been a long time since I wanted to start a blog to share a bit more of my work.

Actually I started to do some work with web development by luck :) while I was doing my bachelor in Electrical and Computer Engineering I didn't like programming that much... so I ended choosing Electrical as my master where I basically learn Matlab. On the meanwhile my father needed someone to do his website, I saw the opportunity to make some money and I did it and I ended learning HTML and CSS.

After finishing the university I joined my friends in a startup called SecurPC (now Securibox). There I started to work with ASP.NET in Azure and learned all about web development with C#. I also started to work on basic javascript JQuery, later I did my first SPA using Typescript, Durandal and Knockout (back in Typescript 0.8!).

From there I got an offer to go for Barcelona, Spain and work in a big corporation (Sage). I took the chance to travel, know another country and I left. I continue to work with C# Azure ASP.Net in an entreprise level application, it was a big change which I really liked. From there I moved to Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong I started to work with a startup again with Angular in a financial company. There I found the domain I most like to work on, since then I started to study Investmentents and how to make it easier and better for the common users. In Hong Kong I moved to my current startup (8Securities) where I am a lead developer creating mobile apps using Ionic2. From there I decided to make this blog and share a bit of my knoledge in fintech.

Traveling

Outside normal vacations the first true travel I did was when I was in university and, with a group of friends, ended up going to Toronto, Canada, to work for three weeks in a volunteer project (CISV ONG) with people from all around the world.

Since then travelling became a big part of my life and I ended up using my spare time and money to know different places and cultures around the world. One of my dreams is to just backpack around the workld for a couple of years.
