Experience
Brief Story
At 13 years old I was fascinated by the Internet and how it worked. I develop my first website and published on December 2015. Over the years, I've learned to code and how to build websites and web applications considering performance and accessibility.
First projects
After learning more and more about web development, I started working on my first projects. I created a website for a local business, a website for a local school, and a website for myself. After high school I chose to study Software Development at the National Institute of Technology.
Tech Writing
Then, I started writing about technology, programming, and other topics that I find interesting in DEV, the largest community of software developers.
Work at Start-ups
I've worked at two start-ups as a Software Developer: Blaze and Tutoom. Check out my LinkedIn profile for more information about how I've contributed to the product development of these companies.
Open-Source Contributor
I love to create and contribute to Open Source projects (Websites, apps, browser extensions, plugins). Currently, I'm working on NASA Open Mission Control Technologies as a contributor. A mission control framework for visualizing telemetry.
Educative Content Creator
I found "Arte de programar", an audiovisual project where I teach Computer Science concepts using animations, drawings, and effects. I'm also working on 42thing, a store oriented to software developers.
Lifelong learner
Graduated in Software Development career. I always try to learn new things and experiment with new technologies. It's the best way to keep up with the fast-paced world. Not everything I learn is related to programming. Astronomy and Aerial Robotics are topics that I love to learn about.
Independent Developer
I’ve created Dreamify, a platform that helps people to generate art (images, videos, and more) using open-source Machine Learning models. It has over one thousand users.
Rise of Artificial Intelligence
In the rise of Artificial Intelligence, I joined SmartUp AI, a start-up that powers the future of communication and collaboration with AI. I worked on the design, development, research, and deployment of the platform. SmartUp AI was recognized in 2023 as one of the top AI-native startups in Latin America.
Software Studio
I started the Astronomical Software Company, my own Software Studio in 2023. With the goal of scaling all my projects, experiments and products into one brand.
