Oh, hey there! đ
I'm Julio (with a hard j, please), thanks for visiting this "personal" site!
I was born in SanlĂșcar de Barrameda but have been living in Seville (Spain) since 2002. Since 2011 I've been working in web development, with a strong specialization in Ruby on Rails, both as a full time employee and a contractor, and fully remotely since 2015, for both UK and US companies.
I share my life with Julia, and together we take care of our cats Perla and Pancho. In my spare time I love playing videogames and playing bass for the progressive metal band CARVING COLOURS (since 2010!), with which I've independently released a couple of albums, which are available for listen and purchase (wink, wink) on Bandcamp as well as on Tidal or Apple Music.
When it comes to work, I'm strongly motivated by projects with real positive social impact, technology at the service of the people, learning and applying new skills and concepts, patterns and techniques when coding, architecture and systems design, clean code, taming legacy codebases, teaching and mentoring others.
