Experience

Macanudo

A daily paper comic fan page that automatically gathers issue comics from http://lanacion.com.ar/humor and displays them on the home page.

IBidGames

A Facebook game I developed. I was given a barely working project and had the mission to make it bug free and scalable to handle high traffic. The same back-end serves the mobile application as well as the web app. While the business is still young, software-wise it is ready to compete with the best players in the market. I managed to put together an interdisciplinary team to help me finish the project.
