Jaume Barber
DevOps Engineer and Software Developer
Hi!
I’m a DevOps and full stack software engineer based in beautiful and sunny València. I made a career turn some years ago and learnt to program in React but soon enough I found myself digging deeper. These days I pretty much enjoy Python, Go, TypeScript… you name it. I am also familiar with Java’s verbosity performance and usefulness.
Big DevOps fan, I enjoy working with containers, Terraform – or IaC more precisely – and I’m crazy about the great and mighty world of cryptography. In a nutshell, I love computers and they sometimes reciprocate.
I'm now working as a
July, 2024 – This very morning
DevOps Engineer at Alten, which entails development and maintenance of a datalake platform built upon AWS Glue, Lambdas, CloudFormation, and so on and so forth, big castle really, trust me ;). My job there includes full stack development, mostly in Python and Angular, client support and product optimisation.
Before that, I was
June, 2021 – January, 2023
Systems Lead at Eventscase, where I terraformed, or ansibled every AWS service in use. Before that, I contributed to the containerization of the product. And setting up dev and testing envs. And then there’s the whole daily maintenance and management…
July, 2019 – May, 2021
Software Developer at GFT, as a junior, but I made my very best with Angular, then React, then eventually started leaning towards ops stuff: pipeline management, containers, scripting, managing Java microservices in OpenShift. Good ol’ times, they promoted me.
My education includes
November, 2018 – June, 2019
attending Run ‘18 at Devscola, a full stack 6-month bootcamp designed collectively by a community of active devs with a special focus on best practices. We covered TDD, XP, SOLID principles, and all agile stuff, both theoretically and in practice. We built project Rekaizen and had fun while doing so.
October, 2014
getting a Certificato di Lingua Italiana (C1) from Università di Perugia.
February, 2013
and a Certificate of Proficiency in English (C2) from University of Cambridge.
September, 2009 – June, 2010
going off the hook, like every other Erasmus student in Bologna, Italy… well, you know, I also toured much of the country.
September, 2006 – June, 2012
studying Journalism at Universitat de València, which is not very relevant for an IT resume but quite original for a contrast, isn’t it? Actually, I’m kinda proud of it, I wouldn’t change it for a moment and it’s unlocked me the power of creative writing to, humm just write this, hope it’s enough.
And I've also
June, 2021 – January, 2023
started and closed my own company, named Cloudfights, for side projects and with the aim to explore the corporate way of life together with some colleagues. It’s always nice to give a try to your little inner tycoon, but in the end you might want to code instead of… do bureaucracy.
May, 2018 – May, 2019
worked for a year as an International Trade consultant in Milan, Italy. Yeah, not the kind of IT you were expecting, but I’m sure you didn’t see that coming.
Lastly, off-screen I'm
- an unguilty language lover and learner
- unsuccessfully trying to learn to play the guitar
- a decade-old terrible FIFA game player
- reading, reading, reading
- probably hanging out with my friends
