Uruguayan / Spanish (EU)Based in London, UK

I am a Software Engineer graduated in 2016 with software development work experience since 2014. At the moment I am focusing my career on Android Development, for which I have been working for companies since 2015.

I went through all the Software Project Process phases (RI, Analysis, Design, Development, Testing and Implantation) which mobile development is my particular favourite, however, I am also rather fond of desktop and web development.

I have also finished studying the Advanced Software Engineering MSc at University of Westminster in London in 2018, focusing on Natural Language Processing for my thesis.
