## BIO
**Freelance Professional Developer with twenty+ years of experience**
I started programming in the following languages (DOS based) :
* Turbo Pascal
* Clipper (the good old clipper)
* Basic, PowerBasic and PDS
After the Windows Revolution, I began to develop my software using:
* Visual Basic
At this stage I learned and used the Win32 API, with intensity.
Soon after, I founded my own Web Hosting Company, **focused in Internet Development**.
As a sysadmin in charge of Linux and Windows boxes, my job is to solve daily i ssues related to Hosting.
Most of my time i am online, improving and securing my network.
**Languages:**
* Spanish
* English
One of the things i have learned in my career, is the importance of **good preliminar design** and documentation when developing, and this is a skill i am very proud of.
All my code is delivered, **tested** and **documented**.
Of course, technical support is provided at no additional charge.
I can provide any additional information you request.
