About Me

I moved to Medellin 4 years ago to do a Rotary scholarship and I guess what they say about Colombia ("El unico riesgo es que quieres quedarte") is true because I am still here! After finishing at the UPB I have worked for a few companies here, right now I freelance from home while trying to teach myself software development.

I like gardening on my rooftop, exercise, hanging out with my girlfriend, and learning new things. New things I like learning right now are lean thinking, ruby, and all forms of growth / productivity hacking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfer to rent out rooms in my house long-term.
