From Chivilcoy to university
I grew up in Chivilcoy, tagging along on my dad's jobs: repairs, air conditioning installs, whatever came up. I handed him tools and watched him open a unit until he found why it would not start. That left me with the habit of not taking anything for granted until I open it and look inside.
I started electronic engineering and got as far as third year, where I took my first programming course, in C. Something shifted there. Programming had what I liked about engineering, solving concrete problems, but with a much shorter loop: you write it, run it, it breaks, you fix it and run it again within the hour.
I switched to a University Programmer Analyst degree to put a formal base under what I was already learning on my own. It helped less because of the language and more because of the rest: designing a solution before writing it, and then being able to explain why it is built that way and not another.
What I'm doing now
I learned to program through my own projects, mistakes and a need to understand what was happening underneath. During the degree I built around five complex projects in teams, working with Scrum, with backends in Python, Rust and Node.js and frontends in Next.js. With the degree now finished, what stayed useful is not the certificate: it is having worked with other people on code that had to run.
Right now I am automating Gaussian Splatting generation and running an app for technicians, workshops and service professionals, already published on the Play Store. Along the way I put in the miles with JavaScript and TypeScript over React, Next.js and React Native with Expo; on the other side, with Python, Django, Flask, Rust and PostgreSQL, plus Power BI when what is needed is for the data to be readable.
What I am after now is getting into a product that already has users and real problems on it. I work best close to the code that decides things: the business logic, the data, the parts that have to be testable before they ship. If you are building something like that, write to me.
