Hi there!

Welcome to my little corner (yes, another blog, but this time with a different paradigm, just personal thoughts, in english, no seo and no clickbaits, I promise).

I work as as director of technology for a very big company, I’ve been working there for more than 12 years. In the past, I’ve worked on software test automation and I had the oportunity to participate in several projects for top-level companies.

In my peronal life I’m a father of one, I have a beautiful cat named Miku and I like to hang aroud between gaming, technology, boardgames, photography and outdoor life.

Where I live

I spent my entire life in Uruguay, but due to work reasons, I made the move to Los Angeles, California back in 2019. Right now, I’m residing in Castaic, a lovely town in the suburbs, which is just a 45-minute drive away from L.A.

Hobbies

Software

I have a real passion for creating things, and learning something new is what drives me. As a result, I find myself constantly building software while exploring new technology stacks. Over time, I’ve worked on various aspects, from backend and frontend development to cloud computing, databases, and even game development. On this site, I’ll be sharing a little bit about each of my personal projects, although I must admit that some of them eventually end up abandoned.

Gaming

I’m an old-school video gamer, and my gaming journey began with the iconic Atari 2600 back in the 80s. After that, I stuck to just one more console – the family game system, which turned out to be my ultimate companion throughout the 90s. Those were the days! At the age of 7, I got my hands on my very first computer – an IBM PS2 – with which I created fantastic memories!

As an adult gamer, I’ve got myself an Xbox Series X, a Nintendo Switch, and a gaming PC. I am a collector myself, and I like to buy evry game that is on deal, so my game collection has grown so much that it’s become a challenge to play them all!

Boardgames

I picked up this hobby back in 2018, just before moving to the US. Since then, my game collection has grown nicely, with a diverse range of games. It’s become a tradition for my family and me to gather every Friday and play together. It’s such a great way to bond and have fun!

Photography

I’ve always had a passion for everything related to video and photography. My grandma owned one of those cool cameras, and I always looked up to her for that. Nowadays, I enjoy taking pictures and spending time editing them to create something special. Of course, I’ve become the designated photographer for every family trip we take.

Podcasting

When I was young, I had the wonderful opportunity to work for a radio station, and speaking into the mic always excited me. Now, I’ve been given the chance to recreate those cherished moments by hosting my own personal podcast.
