Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz’s Summary

In my experience as programmer, I specially enjoy doing infraestructure work, developing the tools (both in terms of libraries and in developement evironment such as build systems) other members of my teams can work with to be more productive in their own work. This bent has taken me to participate in the Debian project, which I view as one of the important pieces of such infrastructure. In this work I have learned important aspects of system integration, as well as gained experience in working with large, disconected teams.

System integration, build systems, version control systems, medium to low level systems programming, Debian, Linux.

Developement of internal staffing applications.

- Server configuration and deployment infrastructure.
I handled most of the migration work required in transfering a large internal web application to a new Linux server distribuition from the ad-hoc server that was in use before. I also helped migrate the application's build system to a new set of internal tools and helped create scripts to automate the configuration of servers and the deployment of the application.

- Java developement
Implemented several new features for the aforementioned application, employing a mix of Open Source and internal Java libraries and frameworks.

- Team support
As a result of my involvement in the build infrastructure update, I stablished myself as the team's resident expert in build and deployment issues and served as contact point between our team and the teams responsible for the infrastructure.
