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.
Lately, I've been involved in 3D and DirectX with some .NET programming. My latest discovery was managed DirectX for C#, kind of cool, here you have a couple links ZBuffer and MDX info.

I've been always interested in Linux too, so I keep an eye on it and do some research from time to time. Lately I've been "playing" with SDL and some more stuff related to video games... Cool!
