Full-stack engineer focused on web development, systems architecture, and best practices.

I'm a self-taught programmer with special interest in web-related technologies.
During my 12+ years programming carreer, I've learned to identify the best tool for the job, and have used several technologies and programming languages as both passer-by, and certified expert.

As an amateur world traveler and music lover, I'm always eager to learn new languages, taste new food, and read good books. I'm a night owl incapable of living a day without music, unsweetened coffee, or a cigarette every once in a while after a nice meal.

Currently living in León, Guanajuato, México, with my girlfriend and my lovely dogs.
