Introduction
I'm working as a User Interface Designer for iSOFT Málaga (Sept/09) where I'm involved in tasks such as prototyping and design and interaction specification.
Until now, I've been working as a freelance web developer making sites based on Drupal CMS and CSS markup and interfaces analysis.
Once I finished the Technical Computer Systems Engineer degree in 2005, I accomplished the Computer Engineer degree program at the University of Granada.
Software development, specifically, web engineering have focused my attention in many fields: usability, accessibility, human-computer interaction, information architecture, analysis and modeling interfaces.
Today, I seek the expertise of my professional career as an interaction designer from a technical and product approach.
