Pablo is the founder at Codice and now the lead of version control engineering at Unity.
When not designing new features or coding server-based obscurities, you can find him blogging
and writing about all things version control.
He used to be an associate professor at the University of Burgos (UBU), teaching project management to
4th year Computer Engineering students. He's also a frequent speaker and blogger.
A long-term contributor to the project, Daniel was the first employee to join Codice. He owns the
record in number of check-ins to the Plastic repository. He’s worked on every single area of Plastic.
He’s an expert on GUIs and plugins (Visual Studio, Eclipse, and so on).
He’s also the guy leading the WebUI development. Dani is a professional guitar player and likes scuba
diving, too.
Borja is one of the engineering cornerstones. He knows the entire system in detail, from the GUI to
the most obscure command to the server functionality. He has been coding Plastic for almost one decade and a half.
He loves driving fast, scuba diving, and is probably one of the few engineers on earth who knows
everything about merging! He has a patent on it and has written our mergetool himself.
A hard-core Plastic hacker, Rubén knows everything about the server, the replication system, database
backends, Jet, cloud, importers, and well … EVERYTHING!
He leads the core changes for Plastic SCM and knows a lot about Git, Mercurial, Subversion, and
Perforce.
Rubén got his degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Salamanca.
Rubén loves swimming, biking, learning to play electric guitar and hanging out with friends.
Jesús M. is one of the core team members. He joined as a junior eons ago and he has worked on almost
every area since then. From importers to the latest Unity plugin, security to GitSync... there's no area
Jesús M can't hack.
Jesús plays soccer, likes cars, loves telling near to true stories and he is also learning to play
electric guitar.
Manu is in charge of the Customer Support area. He deals with complex setups, policies and working
methodologies on a daily basis.
He's the one behind the light fast answers everyone using Plastic SCM is used to, and it is really a
daunting task.
Prior to taking full responsibility of support, he worked as software engineer. He has been in charge
of load testing for quite some time, so if you want to know how well Plastic compares to SVN or P4 under
a really heavy load, he’s your guy.
When not hooked to his iPhone, skate-boarding or learning Korean, he likes to play with Arduino GPS
devices, mountain biking and playing tennis.
Sara joined Codice with a mission: turn the company into financially well-managed one. Sara has broad

Esteban Maldonado
Esteban Maldonado
Software Engineer
2021
I’ve been a gamer and a geek all my life ever since I first played Super Mario Bros. when I was
5 years old.
After changing from my first career goal of being an architect to a computer engineer, I enjoyed
developing small indie game projects back home in Puerto Rico. And after I was convinced that game
development is where I should be next, I wanted to learn more about the gaming industry, so I moved
to Washington State to get my master's degree in computer science at DigiPen Institute of
Technology. Found out that as much as I truly enjoy making the games, I enjoy developing the tools
for content creators (artists, designers, music/sounds creators, etc.) even more. This is why being
at Unity is such a great spot.
My interests and Hobbies are:
Cooking and eating what I cook, even better if enjoyed with friends and/or family.
Playing guitar, mostly metal, and rock.
Playing video games - My favorite genres are story-rich games, but lately have been playing a lot
of multiplayer games that let you enjoy the fun with other people, like Among Us, Jackbox Games,
Rocket League, COD sometimes, etc.
I have a love for indie games, and to see what new ideas people are coming up with, and most
recently, started to play some VR games since I was finally able to get an oculus quest.
Going on hikes, traveling whenever and wherever I can.
Reading fiction and non-fiction, listening to informational podcasts, learning in general.
I joined Unity as a software engineer after graduating from the University of Washington with a
bachelor's in computer science.
In my free time, I am an avid digital artist, writer, and game developer. A couple of random facts
about myself: chickens are my absolute favorite animal (they’re incredible), and Portal 2 is
arguably the best video game ever.
