Currently I'm a software engineer at a technology startup in NYC. I love working in the internet/technology industry. Eventually I'd like to found my own company, so what I find most exciting about my job is the opportunity to learn first hand what it takes to build a business from the ground up. I was born and raised in Long Island, New York, however my entire family is Colombian so I grew up with Spanish as my first language.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to meet cool people. When traveling I want to immerse myself in the culture and experience the country through the eyes of the locals.
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: Think and Grow Rich, The Giver, Atlas Shrugged, The Alchemist Movies: Documentaries, Boyhood, District 9, Troy, Tristan & Isolde, Memento, Match Point, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Toy Story, Dazed & Confused, Before Sunrise, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Bad Santa, Knocked Up. Shows: Shark Tank, Treehouse Masters, House of Cards, Game of Thrones, Homeland, Shameless, Breaking Bad, Silicon Valley, How I Met Your Mother, Impractical Jokers. Music: I'll honestly listen to anything. I think that every genre has its great artists. You just need to be introduced to the right stuff. I used to HATE country until someone showed me Zach Brown's "Chicken Fried". Such a great, feel good, all American song. I grew up listening to Hip Hop though. I'm a big fan of Jay-Z, Cudi, Nas, Eminem & Fashawn.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
