Interview with a Code Enigma member
Dionisio Fernandez
Dioni is part of our web development team and currently Dev Lead of the STEM team.
His day-to-day involves:
- Making specifications according to new features
- Planning solutions according to new features when the client is unsure
- Continuous feedback with the client for those tasks which need refinements (or they have doubts)
- Estimating new tasks
- Helping the team when they have problems
- Maintaining communication with third parties involved in the project
- Preparing releases
- Applying hotfixes if necessary
- Being a bridge between the team and other members of Code Enigma
Three interesting things about Dioni
- I love new challenges; especially ones that seem impossible
- I have unlimited patience. No worries about the number, if you don’t understand something, message me and I will repeat it as much as you need!
- I’m always positive. There is no bug which cannot be solved, it only needs time.
How did you start a career in tech?
With a degree in Computer Science, I started my career working for the University, making some internal projects with CodeIgniter and Yii Framework. In my free time, investigated new technologies and it was when I fell in love with Drupal circa 2010.
Since then, I have been working for some Spanish companies working with Drupal. I worked on some amazing projects like Oxfam Intermon and MSF. My first touch with Code Enigma was as a freelancer.
I officially became part of the Code Enigma family in April 2017.
What inspires Dioni in his professional life?
My inspiration comes from the people I have around. CE gave me the opportunity of working with a multidisciplinary team, who I can learn from and share my knowledge with daily.
Although everybody is working remotely, all my colleagues are there connected to assist me. I have the feeling that I am not alone at home!
What do you like most about working for Code Enigma?
- We work 100% remotely, something really difficult for other countries (like Spain)
- Each member of the team has years of experience, which is really good.
- We have colleagues from different countries, that means I can learn about other cultures and grow as a person.
- CE works with big clients and projects. I have the opportunity of gaining a lot of experience as dev
- We are a big family more than a team
