Soy desarrollador de software en una empresa mexicana y mi tarea es desarrollar nuevo software y dar mantenimiento a software antigüo, así como administrar los servidores web y de vez en cuando crear unicornios cuando mi jefe lo pide. Mi área de desarrollo es con productos de Microsoft, aunque admito que antes adoraba programar en PHP. Conozco de varios lenguajes, pero aún así deseo conocer más de todo este rollo. ©
