• MyDirectory bookmarks handling and web publishing web application. I just had to learn Perl to develop this application. (It was the only language available at the only site I found to allow running CGI scripts by free). Operational since 1999. A future version of this software is in development in www.asynchrony.com under the code name MyPortal.
• HTTP2mail proxy server. It is a proxy that allows to browse the Internet with an standard web browser, but using an e-mail connection to the Internet. It was developed in 1998 (Visual C++), when my only access to the Internet was through e-mail. This software is available free at ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/webbrows/h2m20.zip

• Institute of Meteorology. (Havana, Cuba) September 1998 - October 1999
  I was in the role of NT and Unix systems administrator, and as a software developer.
• DISAIC-EDISIME. (Havana, Cuba) December 1997 - September 1998. 
  I was acting mainly as Database administrator, and also in charge for the maintenance of Intranet applications . Job was mostly bureaucratic, absolutely not challenging. 
• EICISOFT. (Havana, Cuba) June 1994 - December 1997. 
  I left this job because the ending of the development of the IPS-SIME project meant turn back to the EICISOFT offices where further advances on Intranet developing was impossible due to lack of appropriate equipment.
• Institute of Meteorology. (Havana, Cuba) September 1991-May 1994. 
  I started as a scientific staff at the Satellite department, but quickly I found my way at the IT department as a software developer.
  Left this job was very hard for me. I was involved there in a highly challenging project born by my own initiative and developed all by myself. It required a lot of studying. But I received an offer from EICISOFT. At that time EICISOFT was the leader in PC programming in the country, with years of C programming experience in Windows environment, so I couldn't resist the challenge to prove myself in a top environment with better working conditions.
