Ruben Badaró’s Summary

I currently work in product development but have in the past done consulting and held other client facing roles. However, product development is what makes this programmer a happy programmer :)

I work mainly with Java technologies but also hack in other languages when needed (c#, perl, php, python). I like to develop scalable and performant solutions and no matter what the detractors say, Java is a very good platform for this.

I prefer to use Scrum or other similar development methodologies in any project I am and strive to promote these ideals.

I also enjoy mingling with the community and I am currently one of the three Portuguese Java User Group (PT.JUG) leaders.

Ruben Badaró’s Specialties:

- Java SE, Java EE
- Designing robust and scalable architectures
- AJAX development with multiple technologies
- Version Control and Build systems
- DB design and optimization
- IOC, AOP
