Hi, a pleasure. I am Jesús Marcano, a creative and curious software developer passionate about mobile technologies. Currently, I’m working for the Encora team as Android Engineer. Here, I have a great chance to work for an extensive application with a multicultural team where I have the opportunity to work in the tile of User Session and premium features. My responsibilities are refactoring and implementing MVP Architecture, adding new features using RxJava for Observable data, and continuously working with A/B testing over different views in the app.
I also like to work in something challenging, pushing me to research and reach goals like working with NFC and BLE. For example, I worked on exciting projects working for CityWallet, a startup in Venezuela, to make micropayments to use your phone as a PoS, used as a wallet, or Whirpool activator.
After that, I also worked as an Android Leader for Ubiipagos, making a core baking app. My primary responsibilities were making a great refactor from Java to Kotlin and implementing MVVM Architecture, moving from AsyncTask to Coroutines with live data and Data persistence with Room.
An excellent experience there was teaching my team to approach the technologies and make a splendid ambient to learn together.
Besides working as a developer, I like to feed my creativity outside the code with music. I have been a musician for 15 years, which gives me an artistic vision of making software because I feel we are crafters.
So, as John Romero says, “You might not think that programmers are artists, but programming is an extremely creative profession. It’s logic-based creativity.”
Along with this, I see myself as an entrepreneur. I love seeing how companies grow and have a mission and vision to solve at least one problem and make people happy through it. I trust in the culture of never stopping learning and that we are here to make life easier through software.
Be different, be original, and think outside the box to see how wonderful the world can be.
