Alvaro Pinot

Polyglot Coder & Technology Lead

Summary

Continuously trying my best to be a culture and game changer as well as a team builder. Eager to learn and ready to share. I strongly believe that if you are not part of the solution, you are probably part of the problem. Speaking of problems, I always enjoy a good challenge. I think the way to go is to use technology to solve challenges without losing sight of human-personal interactions and avoid technology to get on the way. Remember the “if you are not part of...” well you get the point 😅 I do ❤️ using smilies, music 🤘 and motorbikes. You can find some of the companies where I’ve been doing this☝️during the last decade+ here👇 Want to have some fun together, a chat or a coffee?
