It all started when I was 15 that I started being a "Sysadmin" for a rather small organization of people (We were only two 😅), we kept going for at least a whole year were I was in charge of Development support for the people who wanted to host their stuff but didn't know much about coding, keeping our infrastructure up and running and automatizing pretty much everything so I could stop doing repetitive work day after day.

I had to drop it for college, fast forward two years, had to drop college because of the entire Venezuelan situation.

Started doing freelancing, managed to save little money here and there while I was basically the pillar of my entire house.

Stuff went down in Venezuela and I had to leave (like pretty much every young citizen who wanted to remain mentally stable and without an empty tummy)

Started as a Full Stack Developer (Mostly NodeJS and Golang) in a big Portuguese company for a couple years, got kicked due to a shady budget cutout, moved to another big brand here in Spain and here I am, leading some of the cloud architecture for projects based on Document Management while still, automating stuff that consumes time with Go :).

I'm 26, born on April 21st and that's pretty much it.
