Guillermo Esteves’s Summary
In a nutshell, I build websites. The slightly longer version is that I build simple, usable, elegant websites, that focus on the people who end up using them, and that are based on web standards and semantic code that make them look great in modern browsers while still working in older ones.
Most of the time, I work on my own, as I have a good grasp of what does and doesn’t work on the web and enjoy handling all tasks of web development myself. That includes everything from server configuration and back-end programming in a variety of languages and frameworks, to front-end and UI design using standards-based technologies such as XHTML and CSS, information architecture, usability testing, and more. However, although I love the graphic design aspect of my job and enjoy doing it on my own, I am not a graphic designer, so I have no problem outsourcing it to a partner if I feel my skills aren’t enough for a particular project.

Systems Engineer
Estudios y Proyectos DITECH, S.A.
(Oil & Energy industry)
January 2007 — April 2008 (1 year 4 months)
I was hired as a systems engineer for the role of “EPnetmaster” of Technip’s procurement web application, EPC-Business, in charge of the administration of the system. This included the administration of the system’s users; helping the company’s suppliers to register and prequalify in the system; creating and setting up projects, RFQs and bidder lists; and other support tasks. During my first month using the system I discovered a huge cross-site scripting vulnerability, demonstrated to my superiors how it could be exploited to steal an user’s login and password, and worked with the development team in France to help close the vulnerability.
Additionally, I worked as a procurement engineer supporting the purchase and expediting of equipment for EPC projects in the venezuelan oil industry, such as the HNAY (Naphta Hydrotreatment Plant-Amuay, Paraguaná Refining Complex) and CCO (Western Cryogenic Complex) projects. -
