Bluespark Welcomes New Senior Developer

headshotBluespark welcomes a new addition to our team, Pablo López Escobés, a senior Drupal developer with expertise in Javascript and GIS systems. A Drupal member since 2008, Lopez brings broad experience in Drupal development and site architecture.

Born in La Rioja in Northern Spain, López moved to Valladolid to attend for undergraduate and graduate degrees in communications engineering in the Universidad de Valladolid. His master’s thesis project focused on Javascript mapping library Mapstraction, and integration of that library into Drupal through the Mapstraction CCK module, his first contribution to Drupal. He started to work on the issue queue for that project and he was quickly hooked by the Drupal community.

For his in-progress doctoral work, Lopez worked on the improvement of web mapping services through the use of spatial caches and their optimization.

In 2011, he joined the Madrid-based firm Ideup! as a Drupal developer, working on site architecture and building as well as creating custom modules. It was a turning point for him, when he decided that he would focus on Drupal for his career.

Since then, he has attended as many Drupal events as he can to stay up to date with the Drupal community and enjoy with other drupaleros. Also he has collaborated as a speaker at Drupalcamp Spain and has been actively involved with the Drupal Spanish Association.

He also maintains or co-maintains some contrib modules in Drupal.org, most of them related to Fields and its presentation and architecture, one of his passions in the Drupal world. Some of those modules are Video embed field, JQuery colorpicker and Field placeholder. In recent months, he has been involved in the Drupal 8 issue queue, focused on then Entity Field API. 

Now living in Valladolid, Pablo spends his spare time with his girlfriend and his friends, and he also goalies for UVa, a national handball league.
