About Me

As a Software Engineer, I am driven by my passion for technology and constantly seek opportunities to expand my skillset. Currently, my expertise encompasses a range of technologies including Java, Spring, Spring Boot, Groovy, Grails, Hibernate, Jenkins, Docker, Unit and Integration Testing, Spock Framework, and Relational Databases, among others.

In addition to my technical proficiency, I have gained valuable experience collaborating with both remote and on-site teams. I strongly believe in the power of knowledge sharing and actively engage in exchanging insights with my peers, fostering a culture of continuous self-improvement.

To showcase my work and expertise, I maintain an active presence on GitHub. I have personally curated a collection of workshop examples, demonstrating my ability to deliver informative and engaging sessions. While some of the repositories may be outdated, I deliberately retain them as they serve as a testament to my growth mindset and my eagerness to learn from my past mistakes.

Workshops and Talks

YouTube Channel - Latest video

You can see my latest video from YouTube here, I try to upload one video every week if you like my content please subscribe and share, so I can reach more people.

This is my recent project and at this moment I'm creating content about Groovy language, but I want to create more content about frameworks, languages such Java, Kotlin and maybe python, I'm working hard to accomplish that goal.

One of the things that I like the most is to teach some of the things that I learned, here are some of the slides that I use for my workshops and talks, if you are interested in take some, please email me.

Microservices Micronaut with Groovy Free

This repo contains an example with Micronaut, Groovy and GORM includes the instructions to run it and sample messages that you can use to test with your preferred http tester, I suggest Postman, but you can do also a simple curl action.

I found something that could be a bug and I reported it for the first version of Micronuat but not sure if the recent version already fixed, for more you can take a look to the branch issue-client-at-test-dir

Java samples for beginners Free

On 2012 I was teaching Java 6 to a group of people at Everis Mexico, so I started this old repo with the samples that I used during the classes, I learned a lot since then so I will update this repo to use some Java 8 features and maybe include some branches for the new releases, but something that I have clear is that will not be easy, and it will take a lot of time.
