Hi! My name's Marcelo, but everyone calls me Mars

I am a self taught full-stack web developer and a UX/UI designer with 15+ years of experience, currently living in Córdoba Argentina. You'll find me trying new and edgy stuff, staying up-to-date with technologies, standards and best practices. I've been working remotely as a contractor for more than 5 years with clients from the US and Europe, on several ambitious applications/platforms, with small to scalable teams. I consider myself very lucky to do what I love for living, which certainly drives my passion at work. All of it from home, powered by my coffee machine ☕️

What I'm Good At

Ember.js. I fell in love with Ember on 2012, it drive me to specialize on front end technologies, and led me to create several dozens of apps ever since. I try to contribute on the Ember Community whenever I can, I have a couple of add-ons of my own, and I can consider myself a bit of an evangelist of this framework.

Symfony + PHP7. I started my web developer career doing sites on PHP, around 2009. But if I have to work on my own API, I'd go with Symfony mostly due to my affinity. It would allow me to quickly build fully customized and scalable backends for my ember apps, as

UI/UX Design. Even before I started working on the web I developed a good taste on design and user interfaces, over time I became obsessed in love with pixel perfect work. I like to bring my experience building my own UX/UI whenever I can.
