I'm a self-taught coder, lifelong learner, and builder. Born in the Dominican Republic, raised in the South Bronx, and currently somewhere in New Jersey, I've always been drawn to learning new things: from cooking, and music - to electronics, gardening, and software engineering.
My coding journey started when I was 11 years old. Since then, it has led me through roles at Touro College, Borderfree, Shutterstock, and others - along with work on projects for organizations including the U.S. Department of Defense, Lucille Roberts, Beaba USA, and NJOP.
These days, I spend a lot of time building tools, libraries, and systems at my firm, Sphire - mostly in Go, with a focus on developer experience, infrastructure, automation, and practical software that solves real problems.

Beyond code, I love tinkering with electronics, gardening, and building things just to see if I can.
