I am a student at the University of the Sacred Heart (USC) in Puerto Rico. I am studying for a B.A. degree of Science in Computer Science.
I have been practicing Web development and design during my free time since the year 2005. It truly is one of my greatest passions. To constantly learn new things and improve is a joy to me.
When I am not studying or writing code, I enjoy telling stories and creating art. I aspire to be a professional author someday.
Currently, as a student, I am seeking to earn experience in the fields of Computer Science and Informatics.
I want to become a professional, always staying up to date with the latest technologies and standards, and providing services and products of the highest quality.
Presently, I am working as a freelance Web developer and designer, and within the last year, I have completed several works as such. During the development of these projects, I have created multilingual (Spanish and English enabled) Web sites, powered by content-management-systems, some built on top of the CakePHP framework, others on WordPress and Drupal. In addition, I have done branding design, creating logos and brochures.
Other fields in which I am very interested are software development, and game design and development.
Moreover, and very important, I aim for my name to one day become a synonym of transparency, professionalism, dedication, trust and efficacy in these fields.
