Experience

Computer Science

UFM or elsewhere

For as long as I can remember I have been very interested in science. When I was in kindergarten, the coordinator would lend me elementary science books so that I could learn on my own about subjects that I would not see for a handful of years. In sixth grade I discovered Jailbreaks in iOS and since then I started to experiment with the Linux kernel and its various distributions. This in turn led me to seek to explore the security of these operating systems and to enter the world of InfoSec.

Robotics Team

Colegio Cristiano Biligüe El Shaddai

Since the ninth grade I was on my high school robotics team. Together with my friends we entered into many competitions at the local, national, Latin American and global levels. Winning many of them. We developed our robots and software in different platforms and languages, amongst my favourites I can mention Arduino which is particulary good for learning and VEX which was very good for competitions.

Photography

@danisnowman & @vidarealtv

As a photographer I have learned to discuss requirements with clients, conduct research for each session, use technical equipment, network with other professionals, organize backgrounds for photo sessions, process images, and I have learned a lot about self-marketing. However, photographers are artists with a camera, thus using a mix of technical skills and an artistic eye I have developed the ability to take portrait, location, landscape or food photos that express meaning and are well understood. I have shot weddings, conferences, personal projects, street photography and religious services.

Theology

When I was around 7 years old I confessed with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and believed in my heart that God raised Him from the dead thus I prayed the Sinner's Prayer accepting Jesus as my Savior. Ever since, I have wanted to learn more about the God I believe. I've aimed to achieve this by using of the tools that my parents and fellow pastors and have lent me, such as hermeneutic, homiletic, linguistic and theological tools to study the Holy Scriptures. This curiosity led me to engage in deep conversations with the well-known Chilean theologian Gonzalo Chamorro who involved me in a theological literary group where we discussed for a long time the transcendent questions of ἄνθρωπος (anthropos) and of θεός (Theos).

Education

Computer Science Engineering

Universidad Francisco Marroquín

In this three years I've been studying (I have one more left) the design of computers and computational systems both practical and theoretical systems. Unlike Systems Engineering students, I deal mostly with software and algorithms; this includes their theory, design, development, optimization and application.

High School

Colegio Cristiano Bilingüe El                            Shaddai z.16

I studied at this school since I was two years old, this helped me to strongly grow the values of perseverance and discipline. The intention of studying in a Christian school was to be able to develop friendships with values similar to those transmitted by my parents.

Photography

Freddy Murphy's Studio

In these courses given by the renowned Guatemalan photographer Freddy Murphy, I learned the different operations of a camera, such as how to handle lighting-- both artificial and natural, theory of photography, and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
