Brave is a Chromium-based Web browser with a focus on security, privacy and speed, with more than 50M active users (as of January 2022).

As a software engineer with experience on Chromium and maintenance of forks of large projects, I helped Brave with their rebase process as well as fixing a few bugs along the way.

Chromium is an open-source browser and Blink is the web rendering engine powering it behind the scenes, being both widely used across different types of platforms and devices such as Android, iOS, Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

As part of Igalia's Chromium team, I contributed to the servicification project and the Onion Soup projects, helping Chromium move into a new stage of inter-process communication by migrating from its legacy IPC to the new mojo APIs.

Endless OS is a Linux-based Operating System aimed at providing access to technology to the next billion people in the developing world. It relies on several Open Source projects we contribute back to, as well as on other projects specifically created for this platform.

As a member of the engineering team, I worked on any part of the stack I could contribute to: from lower level elements such as flatpak, printing configuration or the audio subsystem, to higher level components such as… Mostrar más

A simple Android application to monitor the WebKit buildbots.

Chromium is an open-source browser and Blink is the web rendering engine powering it behind the scenes, being both widely used across different types of platforms and devices such as Android, iOS, Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

As part of Samsung’s Open Source Group, I contributed both to Chromium and to the Blink web engine, with a focus on text layout and rendering, at the same time I mentored other members of the team to help them get started with the project.

Samsung’s Smart TV is a platform that integrates Internet and web features in TVs and set-top boxes, as well as provides a way for technological convergence between those TVs and other devices like computers, smartphones and tablets.

Worked on performance optimizations and infrastructure related improvements in the context of WebKit and the Smart TV platform as part of Samsung Research UK‘s Smart TV team.

Epiphany is the web browser for the GNOME desktop. Its goal is to be simple and easy to use. Epiphany ties together many GNOME components in order to let you focus on the Web content, instead of the browser application. As part of the GNOME project, Epiphany is Free Software.

As part of the GNOME project, Epiphany is Free Software. In epiphany, I worked mainly on a few bugfixing tasks as well as helping port some parts of the code to the new WebKit2GTK+ API, which I also helped to write.

I worked for a while in writing the new epiphany’s ads blocker extension to a better system compatible with Adblock Plus, by backporting some code from the Midori browser.

The Hildon Application Manager is a program to manage add-on software components for the Hildon Desktop. It uses the Debian package management tools provided by the Maemo platform (namely APT and dpkg) and presents a ‘end user oriented’ interface to them.

On this project, I worked both on bugfixing, development of some new features and also helping co-maintain it for some time as well, being responsible of publishing regular new releases.

Litl OS is a cloud-based operating system designed an implemented specifically for the Litl Webbook, which as been described as the “world’s first” true cloud-based netbook, released even before than the well-known ChromeOS, from Google.
