Hi! My name is David, Android developer at ownCloud.

I'm a software engineer specialized in mobile application development, including Android native and hybrid apps and also in web development using AngularJS among others.

I also enjoy a lot working on beautiful and user-friendly UI mockups and designs, I would say I’m a front end guy but working on backend development is not a problem for me, I have experience in real projects developing with NodeJS, MongoDB and SQL.

But not everything about me is development stuff, I also enjoy a lot traveling and getting to know different cultures and of course, listening to different music styles.
