My name is Roger Vidal and I am a developer from Vilanova i la Geltrú, a city very close to Barcelona (Spain).
After finishing High School, I decided to study Telecommunications engineering, but after a few months, I realized that it wasn't what I expected. At this point, I decided that I wanted to study something more related to programming and multimedia. For this reason, I started a B.E. in Interactive Digital Content, Game and Interactive Media Design.
When I finished my degree, I started to work in a small startup of game development. In the beginning, we were only three employees, but after a year, we were almost fifteen employees. Also, during this stage, I spent my free time cursing an M.S in Multimedia Applications. After releasing two big projects, we decided to close the company.
Although my work experience is focused on Web Development, I don't like to consider myself a web developer. In my opinion, the most important ability of a programmer is to be able to research and learn every time you code, because you have a good base. With this, you can swap between code disciplines, and every day you can learn something new.
I would consider myself a sport passionate and I've been practicing all kinds of sports since a very young age. During all my life, I have combined Roller Hockey and Skiing. I played Roller Hockey for more than 20 years, including a short stage playing in the maximum category ('Ok Lliga'), considered the best league in the world. Playing all this time on a team-based sport has been very useful to me in working with other people.
In my spare time, apart from practicing sport, I love spending time with friends and family doing any crazy plans. On the other hand, when I'm alone, I love to watch TV Shows and movies, and recently I have discovered a passion to read any kind of fantasy book.

In my opinion, on the developer's industry, the most important thing is the ability to be able to use your knowledge to solve problems by learning and investigating. However, since some people like to have an overview of developer's skills, here is a mostly honest list of mine.
Note: Since I don't believe that is possible to known everything in any of the listed skills, 5 is equal to pretty confident and 1 means that I just tried it once in some personal projects.
