About Jorge Aguilera


During several years I run a one person company offering services as technical leader to innovate and promote customers processes. I provide my experience to improve the skills of the team, teaching good practices and applying productive tools and languages.
In every project I have worked I participated in budget and recruitment although my main role is technical leader. I design the architecture, decide and configure collaborative tools, assign tasks, and work close to developers team in an agile process
I believe in the Open Source Spirit and, as such, I have created and participated in several international projects. I am the main contributor of asciidoctor-extensions, asciidoctor-themes and groogle open source projects. I am also the main responsible for the 101-scripts blog about Groovy and author of the book "Tutorial Básico de Asciidoctor" (sold in Amazon). Also I’m an asidual tech talker in differents meetups
