Hi! I'm jipijopo Front-end web developer

Curriculum vitae

I have been working as a frontend web developer with a modern stack (Vue.js) since 2019. Previously, I was the CSS guy, although I also added functionalities with jQuery and / or PHP in small projects such as landing pages and microsites. I started my career in 2002 as a designer and technician in multimedia and motion graphics. I soon began to code my own designs as informational applications for museums and exhibitions. Once I started writing code, my skills (and chance) led me towards frontend web development. Please feel free to contact me.

Skills

Front-end web development

Since mid 2018 I've been developing Javascript web apps over Vue.js (2 and 3), embedded into a team of 4 to 10 developers. We follow the SCRUM methodology. We do pair reviews through pull requests in Gitea. We pack our projects using Webpack and Vite, extending ES6 compatibility with Babel and managing dependencies with npm and yarn. We deploy through Jenkins in DEV, PRE, STAGE and PRO environments. On mid 2021 we started adding unit testing with Jest. In the near future I'm interested on e2e tests, improve the way I apply SOLID principles and Clean Code and also start using Typescript. I've developed projects in the past as a team member, and as a freelancer, using Vanilla Javascript and jQuery.

Web UI/UX development

When I write HTML code I like to start from the semantic web perspective, as if every page was created for a bot or a screen reader. Once the structure makes sense I take care of the needed styles for humans with good sight. I add CSS styles usually in SASS to get advantage of functions, mixins and nested declarations. I apply Responsive Web Design and Mobile First from the start. I like to follow the BEM and ITCSS conventions to structure styles. I think it's important to be up to date about main browsers newer features: I use the flex and grid models fluently, and I'm waiting for wide support on subgrid to start using it on production. In my opinion, the hard work is not doing a pixel perfect layout, it's doing it maintainable and optimized. I also use frameworks such as Bootstrap, Foundation and Materialize.

Workflow and other skills

I usually deliver code through Git following the Git Flow best practices and managing branches, tags and pull requests in Gogs, Gitea or GitHub. I manage the state of the tasks using tools like Taiga or Trello. Additionally, due to my trajectory I have knowledge in other areas as HTML Canvas, 3D canvas with WebGL and ThreeJS, video and audio editing, and a good performance with Photoshop and Illustrator, 2D and 3D motion graphics, ActionScript and backend development with PHP and MySQL.

Some projects

Trucksters

Trucksters Feb. 2022 / Today

In Trucksters I’m improving my skills not only as a coder but also as a problem solver. We are committed to a lean approach with focus on delivering value fast, measuring the results and iterating.

On the tech side I added some new gadgets to my toolbox, like Apollo+GraphQL, StoryBook and Vuetify. As a senior frontend developer I started to pay more attention to the impact I can cause in other people. Debates, knowledge sharing, pair programming and feedback is becoming a habit.

Betsfy

Betmedia 2018 / 2022

Betsfy is a platform that you can use to share sports betting tips. The front end is built on Vue.js 2 and consumes a decoupled API. The development team consists of 10 people, 3 of them taking care of the front-end. Betsfy works as a social network, including your timeline, your channel, your bank, competitions, betting comparator and user management. All the features are available in 7 languages. The project includes a very complete administration panel that is not publicly accessible.

Guitar configurator

Freelancer 2014 / 2017

Halo Guitars needed a guitar configurator when I contacted to show them my personal project: Norita Guitars, which is discontinued. It was written in Javascript using jQuery, KineticJS and Bootstrap. I adapted it to their needs and some other tools came later: bass guitars, acoustic guitars, 3D archtop guitars, and even pickups. Balaguer Guitars, Citizen Guitars and Voodoo Guitars also have one of these configurators.

Carolina Herrera

Freelancer 2015

Tecnocom hired me as a freelancer to code HTML+CSS for the Carolina Herrera e-commerce web front. Tecnocom developed the logic and API requests and I worked on the UI/UX. The front-end was developed using AngularJS and SASS. The site now has a new front-end so this work is not publicly available anymore.

Bershka

Freelancer 2015

Tecnocom hired me as a freelancer to code HTML+CSS for the Bershka (Inditex) e-commerce web front. Tecnocom developed the logic and API requests and I worked on the UI/UX. The front-end was developed using AngularJS and SASS. The site now has a new front-end so this work is not publicly available anymore.

Stradivarius

Tecnocom 2014

I worked on the Stradivarius (Iditex) e-commerce site as a part of a front-end squad at Tecnocom. My role in this project was the CSS Guy. It was a big challenge because we needed to support older browsers and therefore we couldn't use the flex model.
