About me

Development, Product, UX... Journalism ๐Ÿค”

I've taken a big leap in my career journey to chase after what truly drives me. Although I graduated with a degree in Journalism from UCAB back in 2010, my heart has always been drawn to the world of technology. My journey took an interesting turn after completing my MBA at IESA in 2016. That's when I realized my true potential lies in the tech realm.

Since then, I've been deeply immersed in the vibrant Venezuelan startup scene, working with various startups in fields like Fintech, Insurtech, AR, and IoT from 2016 up to now. It was during this period that I embraced software development as my ultimate professional goal.

Throughout my startup experiences, I've worn many hats, from collaborating closely with product teams as a UX/UI designer to taking on roles like Technical Product Manager, all within the framework of Scrum methodology. Over the years, I've been hands-on with development teams, engaging in tasks ranging from automation (using tools like Selenium) to web scraping (with Scrapy and bs4), as well as API and Front-End development using Python & JavaScript.

Reflecting on this journey, I see my profile as well-rounded, covering not just development but the entire software lifecycle process, from conception to deployment. Yet, what I find most fulfilling is the process of translating ideas into tangible products through code and problem-solving. That's why I've decided to take the leap towards becoming a Full Stack software developer.

Currently based in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires, I'm eager to continue my professional journey and explore fresh opportunities in this dynamic field.
