<Hello World/>

About Me.

Easy, I'm a person who enjoys programming :)

My first introduction to programming was when I was 15 years old, I learned the C language, and since then I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

Throughout my life, I have created several projects, always focused on ensuring that my applications are functional and can make people's lives easier.

Today I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Oracle, working on backend microservices, cloud infrastructure and large-scale data processing. I'm also pursuing a Master's degree in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Tecnológico de Monterrey, with the goal of designing and implementing intelligent systems on top of cloud infrastructure and microservices.

I had the opportunity to visit Taiwan as an exchange student, which provided me with a new and challenging experience, as I competed with master's students and also made good friends from over 30 countries.

In the future, I would like to help all stray dogs. I really like them, and it hurts me a lot when I see these little animals alone on the streets. I would like to focus my technological knowledge to find a way to help them 🐾
