who i am
Hi there šš¼! I'm Willy Ovalle, a software developer based in Berlin, Germany š©šŖ. I grew up in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic š©š“, graduated in Telecommunications Engineering and have a Master's in Science of Networking and Systems Administration. I currently work with social advertising automation at smartly.io (prev klarna, instacarro).
I have been working professionally since 2012 (damn has it been that long? š„), working in small and big companies in Santo Domingo, Austin, Stockholm and now Berlin. I started my career working with .NET (along many other Microsoft technologies), these days I do most of my work in typescript (and js in general). Some tools/technologies I'm interested in: typescript, node, docker, k8s, jamstack, serverless.
I spend my free time playing music, reading (mostly listening tbh) books, doing open source work, enjoying time with friends and family and watching way too much youtube. Catch me up on twitterā¦ or donāt, it's your call; Iām only a biography after all.
