Alvaro Perez’s Summary

I have studied at Universidad de La Coruña in Spain, where I have received my MSc in Computer Science. Currently I'm studying a Master's in European Business at the ESCP-EAP European Schools of Management.

Formerly I have been working in the UK, in London where I have developed Ruby on Rails applications for the media company Aegis Media, and in Norwich for the Sainsbury Laboratory, developing a Ruby on Rails application for retrieving biological data from large datasets. I have worked in my hometown in Spain for the Juan Canalejo Hospital developing a J2EE application for maintaining a diabetic clinic history.

I speak fluent English and Italian, good French and some Portuguese and German. My mother language is Spanish.
