08 April 2008: Irune is excellent. She is honest about what she can't do and is enthusiastic about the things she can. The proof is always in what is delivered and she has delivered as promised, within the agreed timescales. She has been able to sort out other peoples code and debug a plug-in whilst getting to grips with a very large database. I would recommend Irune to any prospective employer.
| My particular fields of expertice lie mostly on the web development area, specially on the PHP and J2EE languages, but my interests are spread wide and so I also have dwelt into Search Engine Optimization, Bioinformatics (Genetics mostly, but only as university subjects without professional experience), and online game and virtual worlds development. I have worked both in small commercial projects (microsites, commercial websites, e-commerce) and in big distributed applications and social networks and I feel comfortable in both kinds of projects. I try for all my projects to be interesting and challenging, and to learn something new on each of them. Over the time, that has helped me gain knowledge in areas such as Mobile Communications and micro-payments, Marketing, online games, Social and professional networks, Search engine optimization... |

networking portal for network calculations and searching engines, as well as
maintenance of the existing ones. I also worked PHP to develop new functionalities

Neurona is a social networking website, so the SEO component was very important in all levels, as our users had to have the best possible visibility over the internet. A correct indexation and possitioning and fast response times were one of the overall goals for any new functionality designed and developed.
In June 2007, Neurona was purchased by OpenBC and since then we worked with their team in Hamburg to integrate our application and features into theirs, as well as migrating the user database.

| Native Spanish and Catalan. English: Superior Certificate (5 years) by the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas (Official Language School) roughly equivalent to Cambridge’s CAE (Certificate in Advanced English). Experience in work with internet groups and communities where english was the main language, including some of the IRE Muds and Ilyrias and also currently living in Southampton, United Kingdom, so my communication skills in this language are good enough for a normal real life communication and technical conversation. I have professional experience as translator for technical documentation and professional correspondence from English to Spanish and the other way round, and currently accepting translation projects on those language pairs. |
