Hello!

My name is Ariel Alvarez Windey, I am a Computer Engineer and I am currently working as a software developer with 6 years of experience in the industry.

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I consider myself a sociable and outgoing person, with a cheerful and friendly personality. I like to set goals and achieve them, I enjoy talks and debates where different opinions can be heard. Because of this, I like team projects to reach a common goal.

Since I was a child, I have always liked solving problems and brain-teasers, where the mental challenge and the satisfaction of reaching the solution were combined. This is why I was inclined to study Engineering, in fact I initially chose Electronics. At the same time, I always had artistic interests such as music and acting, although I only fostered them a little by learning to play the guitar and participating in school performances.

Today I see clearly that these qualities led me to turn from Electronics to Computer Science, since I found in programming that mental challenge that I have always liked, combined with the creativity that implies not reaching “the” solution but “some” of infinite solutions.

The creativity involved in programming allows me in some way to foster that artistic side that I've always had, not for nothing there are those who say that “software development is art”. It is thanks to this balance that I am very fortunate to be able to say that I love what I do.

I am interested in getting involved in humanistic and social projects, which is why for several years I have participated in TECHO and in activities of the church in the neighborhood where I was born.

Professionally, I like to work on projects with a high impact on society, where quality is a must and is built collaboratively with all team members.
