Héctor Gavín Rivas
Full-Stack Developer

I have 3+ years of working experience in the field of Web Development and 7+ years of IT education across Spain, Turkey and Austria. I currently work as a Full-Stack Developer in Savings United where I manage, develop and maintain all websites and internal apps of the company. Facts worth mentioning from my daily work are:

  • Experience working in a continuous integration environment based on self-maintained devops and tools.
  • Experience with the whole web stack (frontend, backend, deployment, bi).
  • Strong foundation and personal passion for clean and well designed code. I make use of Design Patterns and consider different approaches before implementation based on efficiency/reusability.
  • I make a lot of jokes :) I try to keep people around me as happy as I can.
