Professional Bio
I am a Senior Software Engineer from Colombia with over 9 years of experience in the field. Throughout my career, I've had the chance to work on many different types of projects for companies across a wide range of industries. Ruby on Rails is my number one tool for development because it simplifies common repetitive tasks and it is a beautiful language that is easy to test. Beyond software development, I'm also a huge fan of the automotive world and automotive sports.
