Profile: https://flows.cv/robertoortega

I am a developer. Years ago I said good-bye to social work with their fax machines and embraced the world of technology. I am eager to learn and contribute my programming skills, tireless work ethic, as well as my aptitude for software development. I enjoy every moment of it. Due to my experience working with diverse populations -- families and individuals alike -- I am able to adapt comfortably to changing environments.
