Employment
Experience
- Melollevo (Development)
Melollevo is an auctions site that operates in Colombia. I developed it all in Ruby on Rails with some jQuery and PostgreSQL as the DB. I built the entire site, including the design (except for the logo).

- Awesome checkbox (Development)http://apeniche.github.io/awesome-checkbox/
Awesome checkbox is a JS/CSS plugin that has been extremely useful in many projects I've worked on that allows to easily style checkboxes using font-awesome (or any custom css class), so it basically replaces the default checkbox for any two icons with custom size, color, etc.
- Meet Volt, A Promising Ruby Framework For Dynamic Applications (Publication)In an attempt to make web applications a lot more dynamic, front-end Javascript frameworks like Angular.js, Backbone.js and Ember.js have gained a lot of popularity. However, these frameworks often require a back-end application to be useful, so they are used in conjunction with web frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Django. On the other hand, Volt is capable of managing the back-end and a dynamic front-end; since both functionalities are tightly integrated into its core.
