About Me
Hello, I'm Javier Julio. A software developer and speaker living in Brooklyn, New York. I create rich applications for the web, mobile, and desktop environments at 9mmedia in the trendy Soho neighborhood of Manhattan.
For the past 3 years, I've specialized as a client side developer working with Flex but I started off server side and consider myself proficient in both. If my focus goes one way, on my free time, I focus on the other. Currently, I'm learning Ruby by completing the Ruby Koans and enjoying it immensely. You can find my notes and other projects on GitHub. Ruby's syntax is wonderful and the great set of tools in the community like Heroku have won me over. Otherwise I'd be learning Node.js and Clojure. Those are next.
Apart from programming, I'm an avid reader and use Instapaper to read anything I come across using Google Reader or Twitter. Using Netflix I've discovered shows and movies I wouldn't have otherwise. When that bores me safe to say I'll be gaming. You can find me on PlayStation 3 and Steam as JJfutbol. Add me and lets game!
My futbol teams are Newcastle United and Valencia. The first is to long of a story and the second is because my mother is from there. I traveled to Valencia each summer as a child and that's how I learned to speak Spanish fluently. And thanks to her, I love to cook. Its relaxing and a great way to clear the mind.
This internet web site was made on a Mac, using Coda, Ruby, Sinatra, stored on GitHub, deployed with Heroku and tested against the Chrome web browser.
