A Little About Me
First entry, so I'll share a little bit about...
My Story and Journey
Origins and Academia
I grew up in a small neighborhood in the southern part of Mexico City, always passionate about technology and creativity. This driving passion eventually led me to the Faculty of Engineering at UNAM, where I graduated with a degree in Computer Engineering.
Professional Experience
I have built my career from multiple fronts. I started out as a tech support freelancer and later founded my own technology solutions company. Over the years, I have led the web marketing division at Stellantis, and I currently work as an Engineer at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in the same position. In my current role, my focus centers on innovation and Quality Assurance (QA), transforming complex ideas into functional products. And leading the AI adoption on analitycs data for the mkt and sales public sites.
Culture, Art, and Faith Projects
My passion for technology is balanced by a deep interest in cultural expression. I have collaborated in preserving and spreading the history and traditions of Santa María Aztahuacán, and I have participated in diverse artistic projects. These range from developing the website for the “Western Imperialist Party (Partido Imperialista de Occidente)” and creating the digital adaptation of a 17th-century theatrical script, to studying Lumen Gentium from the Second Vatican Council and producing my own musical projects: Conejo Pescador, Conejo Malo, and “Los Naáy”.
