About me
Based in Santiago, Chile.
I'm just a guy who's passionate about computers and everything they can do. Ever since I started learning about programming languages, networks, and algorithms, something just clicked for me. I kinda grew into an obsession after discovering this industry (which was kinda late, to be honest). I want to learn everything I can because I simply love solving problems and giving instructions to a computer. To me, it's one of the most elegant ways we have to solve them. For me, it it's the closest thing we have to magic.
I love reading books, spending time on my computer working on my little projects, and spending time with my family. One thing I don't love, but rather dislike, is AI, especially the way some so-called "developers" choose to use it.

Education
I'm currently in my senior year of Software Engineering, with a specialization in Data Science, at Duoc UC.
Most of my knowledge comes from independent research, as it does for many developers and scientists. I spend a lot of time reading code and documentation on GitHub, researching technologies, and, of course, reading books.
I believe books are an essential part of education, so I thought it would be appropriate to list some of the books I've read and found useful.
- The C Programming Language - Dennis Ritchie
- Modern C - Jens Gustedt
- Algorithms with C - Kyle Loudon
- Estructuras de Datos en C - Moshe Augenstein
- Automate the Boring Stuff with Python - Al Sweigart
- Django in Action - Christopher Trudeau
- Network Programming Guide - Beej
- Statistical Inference - Peter Gedeck
- The Rust Programming Language - Steve Klabnik
Projects
What better way to showcase one's projects than GitHub? Even though I'm currently switching to GitLab, you can visit my GitHub profile in the meantime.
FluxWare
I'm currently working on a little company I founded called FluxWare. It's main project right now is the development of VetFlux, an individual veterinary management system. Check it out on my GitHub!
Miscellaneous
My operating system is GNU/Linux, specifically Arch Linux, and I use Vim. (It doesn't get any more pretentious than this.)
