First Post

So, this is the first blog post of many (I hope) and I though I would give some information about myself and my background.

My name is Carlos Zúñiga, I currently live in San Jose, Costa Rica. I work for an e-tailer company from the USA that has a development center in Costa Rica.
At the time of this writing I'm 3 weeks away from getting married to my lovely girlfriend of 3 years, Maricel, as you might expect, we are swamped with stuff to do.

As for the geek in me, I'm a Java developer. I have about 6 years experience developing Java applications mostly for the web.
I'm very interested in Java and other JVM languages, and the whole ecosystem around the platform. I also enjoy programming in Javascript and I consider myself pretty savvy in this area.

I have had the opportunity of working in companies where Agile methodologies have been used and I gotta say that I really like them, specially Scrum and eXtreme Programming. I firmly believe that Pair Programming and TDD have a deep impact in the quality of software.

So I guess this is it for now, but hopefully I will write some more in the near future.
