Developer

Fullstack & Data Engineering

Born and based in Colombia. I speak C1 English and native Spanish.

Computers have always been my main interest, from customizing them to building them. There is something about having artistic control over a computer that I enjoy a lot. These days, I try to keep myself active by skateboarding, because to no one's surprise, as a developer I spend many hours in a chair. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn if you wish to talk!

Ideas I resonate with:

  • I value products that achieve strong profits through genuine quality.
  • I avoid profit strategies that compromise product integrity. Enshittification*
