Summary
I'm a freelance
Ruby on Rails programmer
with more than ten years of experience developing websites.
You can hire me for Ruby on Rails development, and also for integrating code and HTML5 & CSS3.
I've been developing websites since 1999, first as a designer (Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver) and later coding (HTML, CSS, ASP).
In 2002 I co-founded Alazán Internet, a small web programming company in which I developed Websolution, a CMS based on ASP.
I became interested in Ruby on Rails five years ago, now it's the area in which I'm specialized. At the same time, I've continued using the latest web standards (HTML5, CSS3)
and learning about data visualization with D3.js (you can see some examples here: http://bl.ocks.org/murtra).
I'm also the creator of Ludus, the reference website about alternative pedagogies in Spain.

I developed this CMS while I was working at Alazán Internet, a company I co-founded. As head of the technical area, I designed the different templates and programmed the application, which allows customers to edit their websites, add products, configure e-commerce, send newsletters, manage their intranet,... The application grew over the time in order to adjust itself to the advances in web technologies as well as the customers' needs.
