A little more about me: I am very passionate about what I do especially when it comes to code and community. Coding was my motivation to obtain my B.S in Computer Science. I have participated in several hackathons and even won two of them. I love mentoring people in technology, writing articles, contributing to open source, speaking at conferences/tech talks, and advocating for technologies that I love.

Currently, I'm the Staff Developer Advocate at PayPal where I'm leading the DevRel efforts and building the DevRel department from the ground up. Some of the activities I take care of:

  • Social Media Strategies
  • Product Feedback
  • Community Building
  • Documentation
  • Architecture Review (API and SDKs)
  • Content creation (Blog posts & Videos)
  • Discord Server
  • Sample Apps
  • Conferences Booths
  • PayPal Champions
  • PayPal Beta Program

Another of my community contributions is managing the Angular Hispano Open Source project, where 60 people from around the Hispanic community are contributing to the Angular project. We are working closely with the Angular Core team at Google to meet goals and deliverables.

I have written over 46 articles (with more than 500k views combined) on different topics like AWS, Angular, Javascript, NodeJS, React JS, PWAs, and more.
