About Me
My Name is Alfonso Catrón, I live in Córdoba, Argentina.
My experience and set of skills define me as a full-stack web designer. I am cross-disciplinary and able to take a project through to completion, specially through the first few major project phases, handling everything from UI design, front-end dev, back-end dev, back-end server management... and some other things.
I am also what you could call an "Old School" Web Designer, I have been working on the web for more than 15 years, and still can't believe a made a career of all this fun. I started using tables with FrontPage 98, and browsing the web using dial up modem, so you can get an idea of all the stuff I've seen.
My career has driven me into very different work scenarios: I've been a solo worker, I've managed development teams, I worked remotely with different teams in very different countries like USA, UK, Spain, Belgium, Greece, Jamaica, India, Argentina, etc
