I have always loved being a mentor. In fact, that's why I have been teaching at the university for several years, a passion that dates back to my own university days when I used to assist my classmates.
My professional journey started as a programmer, traversing through various technologies such as PHP, C, C#, Ruby, Java, Javascript, Typescript, Node.js, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL, Redis, ElasticSearch, Laravel, Nest.js, Ruby On Rails, Lithium, .NET MVC, Vue.js, JQuery, Knockout.js, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Software Architectures, JavaFX, Swing, Doctrine, ActiveRecord, Eloquent, Hibernate, TDD, CI, PHPUnit, JUnit, Docker, Git, GitHub, Bitbucket, Jenkins, Queues, Android, Web Security, Payment Processing (Stripe, PayPal), Withdrawal Processing (Transpay, PayPal), etc.
I hold a degree in Information Systems Engineering, with the distinction of having the highest average in my graduating class.
I am a university professor, where I teach Web programming (HTML, CSS, Javascript, Vue.js, Git, and GitHub). I have an average rating from my students of 95/100, which is the highest among all professors.
Currently, I serve as a technical leader and head of product, leveraging my extensive technical and business knowledge. Additionally, I sit on the board of my current company, designing long-term strategies.
I am fluent in both English and Spanish.
I'll be delighted to assist you!
