I am currently interested in doing scientific research in the area of software engineering to add value to their body of knowledge but at the same time to meet some practical needs of the industry (especially technology issues). I think it would be helpful to bring some tools from the scientific research environment to the daily activities of software development companies. For this reason I am finishing a Master of Engineering at Universidad ORT Uruguay in order to make an approach to the scientific field and gain knowledge about new tools that allow me to achieve this goal.
About my industry experience, I have been working for more than 10 years with .NET framework, Java applications in Windows and Linux platforms. I have extensive experience with web applications, JavaScript and AJAX using frameworks as JQuery and Prototype to develop several controls and plugins.
As hobby I’m continuously looking for “odd” programming languages like Lisp, Clojure and Lua, feeling very attracted about functional programming style. Other hobby is the development and maintenance of a couple of Google Chrome Extensions, which have been used by many users from all over the world in the last 2 years.
