English Studies and Exploration
After high school, I pursued English studies at university. This period was marked by exploring diverse interests and learning new skills, but I hadn't yet found a stable career path or defined a clear professional direction.
A Transformative Encounter
Met an extraordinary woman who profoundly changed my worldview. Her kindness, work ethic, and beautiful spirit inspired me to reevaluate my path and approach life with greater seriousness and purpose. This period became a cherished turning point in my personal growth journey.
Urban Odyssey in Bogotá
Inspired to reshape my life, I moved to Bogotá seeking new opportunities. I navigated the city's vibrant energy, trying various roles from car sales to call center agent. Despite my efforts, I struggled to find stable footing in the bustling metropolis, facing both professional uncertainty and personal growth.
Awakening to Code & Fatherhood
After a friend noticed my natural problem-solving abilities (honed from hacking video games as a child), I pursued web application design through a government scholarship. This transformative journey of technical discovery coincided with another life-changing revelation: preparing to become a father, which deepened my sense of purpose and responsibility.
Resilience Through Loss
Faced profound professional and personal challenges: endured multiple software company rejections despite promising interviews, while simultaneously processing the heartbreaking loss of our expected child. Through this darkness, I found strength in continued learning and preparation, holding onto an unwavering conviction that perseverance in my passion would eventually lead to breakthrough.
Renewed Purpose: Fatherhood & Relocation
Amidst continued studies and temporary work, a monumental blessing arrived - the birth of my daughter. Her presence lifted my depression and reignited my determination. After her arrival, we relocated to the calmer city of Pereira, where I dedicated myself fully to securing a career that could provide the future she deserves, intensifying my job search with newfound focus.
Full-Stack Breakthrough & Family Drive
Achieved my first developer role starting as front-end, but quickly impressed my employer with full-stack capabilities (APIs, databases, server management) thanks to relentless self-study. While my daughter continues to grow and light up my days, I'm now focused on sharpening my skills to build a better future for my family and help more businesses digitize and thrive through technology.
The Journey Continues...
This timeline represents my journey so far, but the story is still being written. I'm constantly learning, growing, and seeking new challenges to expand my skills and make a positive impact.
