I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. From a young age, I recognized the difference education made in my family’s life. I took my studies very seriously, entered college at 15, and studied engineering.

After college, I fell in love with Networking and VoIP technologies when I did an internship in 3Com Corporation. 3Com was a hardware computer manufacturer founded in 1979 by Robert Metcalfe who was the inventor of the Ethernet. Then in 2010, 3Com was acquired by Hewlett Packard.

Prior to moving to the US, I had a successful career with Hewlett Packard Enterprise where I held multiple roles in Costa Rica and Colombia providing support and consulting services to clients in the LATAM region.

Besides studying engineering, I also pursued a Master’s in Project Management while in Costa Rica, and an MBA in Inalde Business School in Colombia.

In 2018 I took a sabbatical to recover from burnout. Months later I decided to do a full career pause to raise a family.

In 2020 in the middle of the COVID pandemic, my family and I moved to the U.S and started a new life.

In 2023 I relaunched my career in IT in the U.S. after overcoming a five-year career gap.

My journey back to work wasn’t easy but thanks to the resiliency and grit I developed throughout the years, I was able to power through the difficult times. 

On this website, I share my journey while building my career in the US as well as resources related to IT, Networking and Cybersecurity.

I hope you find the information I share in this space helpful to build your dream career in IT too.
