I'm able to...

English
Be a flexibile and reasonable a partner, since I worked both as employee and on my own. I have experience sharing a spot and work with friends and collegues, experience working at an office, and at home as freelance.

Cooperate with creativity giving ideas and suggestions in other domains than IT; such as ad placement, content segmentation and content formatting. Many times I was part of the differents projects' creative/content team as well.

Speak 3 languages: spanish as mother language, french because of living in a francophone province, and english because of working in an anglophone company.

Take decisions, expose them and show the reason why I took those technical decisions. I've done that always, since my first scrum meeting in my first employment.

Give answers when working as freelance. The most popular complaint about freelancers is that sometimes they "completely disappear". I'm used to work at "reasonable" hours, so you'll find me online from 10 to 18 GMT-3, from monday to friday. And I'll always reply to your emails.

Salary expectation CAD 70.000 / year.

About me

Nicolás Andrade I was born in January 1985 in Lanus Oeste, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I'm a 27 years old self-taught PHP developer formed over years of work in different companies and as a freelance contractor.
I'm living in Montréal, Canada since end-September 2010, so I speak english at work and french in my personal life since then. Fortunately I'm a fast language learner, this enables me to communicate proficiently in both languages.
Most of the time I spent in front of a computer I use Ubuntu Linux -even when recording I use Ardour-, but I've worked with different distributions too, such as Debian -not so different- and RedHat/Fedora.
Besides computing, I like learning and playing the bass guitar. You can find out more about the music I like at last.fm
