I' ve been a successful J2EE contractor for over 12 years, I' ve got experience in both: front-end and back-end layers and I also have good knowledge and experience with Oracle (SQL, Tunning, DB Schema creation, and PL/SQL).
In the last 3 years I adopted an Agile / continuous integration philosophy using unitary/integration tests, code reviews, etc., and now I can't understand software development without this philosophy.
I' ve got my own continuous integration/production environment in DigitalOcean which I use every day for learning / training so I also have good experience with Linux and system environment configuration.
I am fully available right now for remote working, skype meetings etc. My plan is to make myself a reputation in this place, and work remotely so I can return to my home country and be closer to my relatives.
