MY STORY
Curiosity Has Taken Me Far

I’ve always been curious about how things work, from technology and business to people and what drives them. That curiosity has taken me through different industries, countries, and challenges, both professionally and personally.

Over the years, I’ve worked with startups, agencies, e-commerce brands, educational institutions, government-related organizations, and investment businesses. Each experience has taught me something new and helped me become a more versatile and strategic developer.

Outside of work, I’m a skydiver, an outdoor and extreme sports enthusiast, and currently practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These experiences keep me curious, disciplined, and comfortable stepping outside my comfort zone.

With the right people, the sky is only the beginning.

MY JOURNEY
From Building My First Website at 14 to Working Across Industries

I started learning how to build websites when I was 14, mostly through YouTube tutorials and experimenting on my own. That experience shaped the way I learn to this day. I genuinely believe almost anything can be learned independently if you’re curious enough, patient enough, and willing to keep looking for the right tutorial, documentation, or example.

I sold my first website at 17. At 19, I landed my first formal role at Ninja Web Corporation after Javier Calderon recruited me during a course he taught at the University of El Salvador.

That opportunity became the starting point of my professional career. From there, I went on to work with different companies, teams, and international clients, expanding from web development into e-commerce, marketing, CRM, automation, conversion optimization, and digital growth.

Today, I’m part of Ninja Web Corporation, run my independent brand Somos Tendencia / Today We Trend, and also work as an outsourced developer and digital partner for companies that need technical execution with a strong understanding of business and growth.

I believe almost anything can be learned if you’re willing to find the right tutorial, documentation, or example.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
From Technical Work to International Business

In 2024, as part of my work with AC Global Learning, I participated in the Global Diversity Export Initiative Trade Mission organized by the U.S. Department of Commerce, which included business meetings and opportunities focused on expanding U.S. companies into Latin American markets. 

During a private event at the residence of the U.S. Ambassador in Panama, I represented AC Global Learning alongside part of my team, including Angelo Romero and Roberto Salguero. I took a leading role in conversations with English-speaking commercial representatives as we discussed opportunities for AC Global Learning’s expansion into Latin America.

One of the memorable moments was meeting Mari Carmen Aponte, former U.S. Ambassador to El Salvador. Having previously served in El Salvador, she was especially pleased to see Salvadorans representing a U.S. company and participating directly in conversations around regional expansion.

Experiences like this have helped me grow beyond development, strengthening my confidence in business communication, international collaboration, negotiation, and market expansion.

What starts as a small dream can open doors to rooms you never imagined entering.
