I am a Graphic Designer graduated with honors from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (2004) and I've been working as a frontend engineer full-time since 2013. Currently I'm studying Informatic Engineering at the Universidad Santo Tomás.

Before 2013, I worked in UX/UI graphic design and AS2/3 programming as well as typographic and infographic design. I occasionally do some works related with branding, editorial and watercolour painting.

I love read! Classics, sciences, sci-fi, philosophy, arts, history, biographies... check out my Goodreads and my blog of books reviews (en español).

I'm a passionate about mathematics, physics, astronomy, cosmology and computational astronomy. Member of ASASAC (Asociación de Astronomía de Colombia or Colombian Astronomical Association) since 2015. I love learning piano, especially the works of J.S. Bach.
