Hello! I’m Ana, and this is my webpage. Here, I will write blog posts about the things I do or the things I think.
This page is the ‘About me’ section, so if you want to know more about me, this is your place!
Introduction
I am 24 years old, and I am proud of navigating the tech industry for nearly three years.
As a passionate Software Engineer, I enjoy designing complex and innovative systems while learning new technologies and ways of working.
Beyond that, I enjoy public speaking and social media writing, skillfully balancing both facets of my personality. That’s why I wanted my page to have a blog section!
Where I'm from
I’m from Asturias, Spain. I have lived in Gijón my whole life and love this city.
Education and experience
I finished my Degree in Software Engineering a year ago in The School of Computer Engineering at the University of Oviedo.
During those years, I participated in student representation, being the president of some organizations during my last years at the University. I also participated in student representation organizations, like RITSI, being part of the board of directors during my last year there. I sometimes still participate by giving talks or helping with projects.
Those experiences gave me confidence in communicating with the team and directing projects. I also learned much about public speaking and getting many people to understand an idea.
Projects
I have created projects using a wide variety of programming languages. I usually use Java at work, but I also used Javascript for my final degree project (a webpage where I created the frontend and backend parts) and Python and C# during the degree. I also had to manage servers and work with PHP, WordPress and Docker while on RITSI.
Apart from that, I have created two projects with some teammates using SOLID.
Hobbies
I’m currently taking theatre classes! I also like painting (an old hobby I’m getting back into), and sometimes I go play volleyball with friends (I’m not good, but I give my best).
I also like taking walks, going to cafeterias and meeting friends. I played role games in the past, too!
What is 'anuskuskus'?
That’s my nickname. One of my favourite teachers gave it to me in school, and I started using it for social media. Sometimes, people refer to me as it, so my boyfriend bought this domain for me. It is unique; why not use it?
Fun fact: sometimes, I can’t use it on pages because the algorithms detect bad words on it… So I have to use ‘kuskus’ instead :’)
How to contact me
I am active on LinkedIn, so If you want to reach me quickly, that’s the best place to go :) I’m open to talking about anything, so if you are curious about a project, post or want to know me better, I’ll be happy to answer.
You can reach me in Spanish or English, and we can give it a try to communicate in Asturian if you want!
