Building the invisible
I was 15 when I stumbled upon the Web. Coming from the art world, it felt like a breath of fresh air though, to be honest, I wasn't a natural. Resources were scarce and poorly translated, and the vastness of the field made it difficult to focus on one thing. Eventually, I found my footing as a Web Designer, and by 19, I was collaborating with industry professionals.
As my technical skills grew, I found myself drawn deeper into JavaScript thanks to the rapidly growing React community. However, my curiosity soon shifted "under the hood." I wanted to understand more about things like database architecture, system design, and what at the time I considered "real programming." All this led me to Go.
Mastering Go was a pivotal turning point. It significantly leveled up my development craft and introduced me to the world of Docker and DevOps. Eventually, I began craving a bit more flexibility, which landed me on Python (via my studies at UNED). It has been my primary tool for building robust, scalable services ever since.
Recently, I took a sabbatical year from the computer to work as a barista in Lausanne, Switzerland. Beyond the coffee, this experience sharpened my ability to perform under pressure and navigate high-paced environments that require quick thinking and adaptability. It also served as the perfect immersion for my love of languages; I am now fluent in four of them: Spanish, English, Italian, and French.
I am a lifelong learner, currently exploring the world of Rust and low-level systems. When I'm not at my desk, you'll likely find me travelling, reading, or playing the ukulele (sometimes all at once).
