Hello, world! 馃憢

I'm Samuel Encinas Plaza

I am a self-taught computer enthusiast from a very early age, learning really fast in those subjects that pique my interest. I am driven by my passion for bringing innovative solutions to difficult problems and challenges, as well as improving existing situations in a fresh and creative way.

# Know me at a glance

Even if I only focus on one of them in a project, I like to keep these four principles in mind throughout the development process, and to satisfy them as much as possible with a set of technologies and skills to match:

Frontend design & development
immersive User eXperience

Offer the user intuitive interfaces and attractive visual coherence. Applications should not be static, but should have a personality of their own.

Backend & APIs development
Top apps are built for the long term

Build applications with a focus on performance, scalability and security, because you never know what will really happen to the application throughout its lifecycle.

Cloud architecture & orchestration
Resilient architecture

By using the latest technologies and a robust, secure and efficient infrastructure to support the systems that make up each project.

Databases systems
Data is everything

I am aware of the value and potential of data, as well as how to properly analyse and model it.
