My Career as software engineer

Lately I've been the lead programmer in a WPF/C# project, check Dolphin site for details about the Aquarium project.

I used to work as programmer and analyst programmer in several firms working with Access and Visual Basic in management fields (accounting and so on) long time ago back in Spain.
In the mid 90's I got a chance to work again in C/C++ (my favorite language) and switch to work for the Research and Development department of a great electronics firm of Madrid working in both English and Spanish in Visual C++ under NT developing a 2D CAD program. Main task were: analysis, programming, documenting and testing (FUSION OO Method.)
After that I spend 5 years working as a teacher, it's not that bad, I like teaching, but I feel like a software engineer, so I started to search for a job again.
A few after getting my new degree (Ingenieria Superior en Informatica), I got a cool offer from the USA, and here we are in the US!. We are living in Thousand Oaks, CA, not far from Los Angeles and I am working as a software engineer again, for Dolphin Imaging Systems, a really great company with great people (not by size but quality).
I am doing lot of MFC programming there from UI to ActiveX or ATL stuff.
My current interest is XNA programming, I joined the creators club and I am trying to understand better how videogames work.
