Pablo is the founder of Codice and the lead of software engineering.
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
experience with financial matters and worked for different companies in the UK before joining our team.
She has a degree in Business Administration and has worked for Ernst & Young as an auditor and for
Hewlett-Packard and Accenture, always in Accounting & Finance roles.
When she is not working, you can find her shopping, hanging out with her family, or hiking in the
mountains.
