Ramiro Leandro Diaz
iOS Developer & Product Manager
Intro
It's me, Ram!
Hello! I’m Ramiro Diaz, Software Engineer from Argentina, everyone calls me Ram. I have an MSc. degree in Computer Science and I'm a tech enthusiast. Nowadays I'm working as a Mobile Software Engineer and Product Manager and I'm always open to learn new roles, wanting to someday become an Engineer Manager! I am very passionate about tech and cars (I am also a car youtuber myself) -Bet you wasn't expecting that one-.
My career has been switching positions starting with research, continuing with development (iOS) because I wanted to switch to the industry, and now I'm leaning intro product as well to learn more of the other side of things!
Expertise
Some things I've worked on.
01
Swift
I started working as an iOS engineering directly learning swift in mid 2018. Since then, my knowledge in Swift only grew and it's my main programming language in which I code on a daily basis.
02
RESTful APIs
Since I'm a mobile sofware engineer and had my share of work as a backend developer I feel very comfortable working with RESTful APIs, either consuming them or creating them.
03
Software Engineering
The best part of being a Master in Computer Science is the knowledge I got about Design Patterns, Architecture and Scalability solutions. Everyday I work using design patters such as MVVM or Protocol Oriented Programming. I'm learning reactive programming using Combine as well.
04
Product Design
Since I joined the product team in Raftr, I am developing new product features, participating in product roadmap calls and trying to make the product better by designing, changing or fixing product features. I develop the prod specs for all 3 supported platforms (iOS, Android & Web).
05
Agile Methodologies
I have always worked usign agile methodologies. I have the most experience with SCRUM, but I've participated in KANBAN projects and also projects doing the so-called SCRUMBAN.
06
Git
I've always used GIT as main versioning system (I tried SVN in the university) at work. Most of the projects I worked use feature branching and branch testing as part of the workflow.
07
CI / CD
Most of the projects I've worked on use CI / CD tools. Most of my experiences consisted in working with Fastlane and Jenkins mainly.
