Who am I?

Not a simple question as it might sound.

Designer. Dev. Entrepreneur. Teacher. Husband. Youngest of three sons. Hobbyist tennis player. Volunteer.

All that are legit answers surfacing only a fraction of me.

I usually prefer the question:Why am I?

I am a resilient person because I support my family since I was 18, and early in my life I understood the value of persistency combined with ambition to keep fighting for my dreams while surviving.

I am empathetic and funny because I used to be bullied at school and developed my own ways to work around bullies with jokes and soft skills.

I am a doer because I came from a humble neighborhood, had just enough to succeed, and learned how to change my reality with low or no resources.

I am an excellent tech professional because I am eager to learn, and I use all my skills to support my career — from design to code.

I am a logical person. I feel the need for connecting the dots. I think in systems and not only artifacts.

I seek to be proud of my work and I would go the extra mile for that pride.

I hate wasting energy with stupidity. I love spending my time sharing knowledge and learning new things.

I love too much. I'm a man who cries, and I embrace life and all the feelings that come with it.
