Oscar Salguero

Hi! My name is Oscar, I started coding at 12 while attending middle school, at 18 founded my own software consulting firm and with it advised several domestic and international customers on for their IT needs. In college I studied Computer Science.

A little bit down the road, I became interested in Java and founded JUGsv, El Salvador's first Java User Group, then several Google technologies caught my attention so co-founded El Salvador's first Google Technologies User Group (formerly known as GTUGs, now GDGs) where served as Speaker/Blogger.

I've designed and developed software for prestigious companies and organizations such as DataSoft, Avianca/TACA Airlines, EQUIFAX, ACF Technologies, the Inter-American Development Bank, co-founded and led mobile development at Geopon, a mobile commerce/advertising startup, later I had the opportunity to work at Genome, an award-winning experiential digital agency and startup accelerator where I created iOS and Android MVPs for incubating startups and also created websites and Android apps for United Airlines, EXXON & Mobile and Verizon and I've had the chance to work in several countries and cities such as San Salvador, Sao Paulo, Washington DC, Miami and New York.

Today, as Senior Android Engineer at BeenVerified.com I'm in charge of developing, maintaining and improving Android apps for BeenVerified and its sister brands PeopleLooker and NumberGuru.

As you can see I love to code, but I also love meeting and chatting with people, attending conferences and meetups, and participating in hackathons to learn new things and share the little I know with everyone else.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy reading, taking long walks in the outdoors with my awesome dog Duke, playing the occasional video game, having a healthy lifestyle, cooking new dishes, binging on Netflix, trying new restaurants, building robots, traveling, etc.
