My Story

Since I was a child, I was lucky enough to have a computer at home. At that time, it was somewhat uncommon, though not exactly a rarity, but it was enough to quickly connect me with technology. I grew up like any other kid: watching cartoons and playing video games, but I also spent hours watching documentaries because I always had a curiosity to understand how things worked from the inside.

At age 7, I discovered chess and got completely hooked. It turned out I was good at it: I won my primary school tournament, became the second-best player in the entire school, and was able to compete in events for the Antioquia Chess League. Beyond the competitions, the board taught me to organize my ideas and think a few steps ahead.

Around age 11, I went through an early philosophical and identity crisis. Seeking answers, I became interested in Buddhism and Taoism. Thanks to that, I found in meditation a way to calm the mind, developing a habit that to this day is my best tool for maintaining focus.

That mix of logic and concentration found its perfect place at age 14, when I became interested in learning about computing and Frontend development at a more technical level; it was my first real contact with creating projects. At 16, my fascination shifted toward cryptocurrencies, leading me to complete Platzi's Blockchain and Cryptocurrency School at just 17. I discovered that I could master any complex system if I dedicated the right focus to it.

At 18, I immersed myself entirely in reading, expanding my horizons radically. Today, at 21, I am in the second half of my Computer Engineering degree and participate in my university's advanced chess seminar. My curiosity remains intact: I am mastering Linux and spend my free time experimenting at the technological frontier, running local artificial intelligence models (LLMs) with tools like Ollama and OpenCode.
