About Me

Technology captivated me since I was a kid. Growing up, I studied Computer Engineering in Mexico City 🇲🇽

My professional experience sums 5+ years, half of it related to web applications. That said, I've worked in a wide range of areas like games, automotive, and maps.

On the human side, I’ve been an active member of local board game groups in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Chicago.

I've traveled 3,000+ km while going for a run and my earliest tracked jog is from 2012.

I like to go to Magic The Gathering prerelease events (I won a local tournament for the 2015 Core Set Prerelease)

Turn-Based Strategy, RPGs, and Metroidvanias are some of my favorite video game genres.
