I completed the Baccalaureate of Science and then I did the Higher Degree Training Course in Multiplatform Application Development.

Once I finished high school, I started studying Business Administration at university. It soon became clear to me that this was not what I really liked, and I began to explore other options. I consulted at my previous center, the Gregorio Fernández, about what my options were. One of them was the degree of DAM. I have always liked technology, so I considered programming as an alternative, although I had never programmed before starting my studies.

When I was studying the higher grade, our tutor told us about the possibility of doing dual FP. It is a modality that allows you, instead of having 3 months of internships, to do 9 months. Not only do you learn more by having more time to adapt and get to know a project, but they are also paid internships that contribute to Social Security. This type of internship has a higher percentage of recruitment than normal practices.

The dual VET program was in the process of being defined, but I still found it interesting. Three different companies signed up for this program at our center, and one of them was Getronics, the one I found the most interesting and I put first on my list. After a few weeks, I got a call from Getronics to do an interview and a couple of my classmates and I started working shortly thereafter.

I started in a project called ARGOSS. I was lucky enough to enter when the project was starting, so I could see how it was fully developed. At first, I was researching a technology called FACETS to display large amounts of data visually, and then I started developing the project’s interoperability API. This project accompanied me during all the practices. I also participated in a SFERE demo.

From the outset, I told the company that my goal was to develop myself in the field of developing apps for mobile devices and I have been fortunate that projects of this type have emerged. I am currently in a Smart Buildings project called BOUSTEAD, developing a mobile application for both iOS and Android. In addition, I am also in ALBEDO, a “brother” project of ARGOSS, doing development and bug fixes in the backend.

When they hired me indefinitely after doing the internship, I entered the Crece Plan. My goal was to achieve the rank of Senior Programmer. To this day I have achieved my goal. My goal in the coming years is to continue growing, so it is possible that in the future I will combine work with university studies to acquire more skills and be able to apply for positions of greater responsibility.
