I would like to welcome Salvador Rodriguez back to the CNBC.com team. Salvador returns to serve as deputy editor of technology news in San Francisco, reporting to Senior Editor Ari Levy.

Salvador was born in Mexico, grew up in Texas and got his journalism degree at Arizona State University. He has been covering the tech industry as a journalist in California for the past 12 years, reporting at Reuters, the Los Angeles Times, CNBC.com and The Wall Street Journal.

Salvador has spent the past nearly three years with the Journal, where he covered the business of social media. In his previous tenure at CNBC.com, he covered Facebook and other social media companies. In his new role, he will help oversee coverage of some of the biggest companies in the world. He starts Sept. 9.

Salvador spends his free time watching sports (Go Astros!) and playing soccer, making playlists, eating burritos, watching movies and salsa dancing.
