Transmission #001: Hello World!
Where it all starts…
Everything started in the computer room my dad setup when I was just a kid, we had a lot of old computers and gadgets in that room, now that I look back, my dad was kinda of a tech enthusiast himself being a lawyer, I remember a desktop tower running Windows 95, one of those “legendary” e-machines running Windows 98 and that sticker that said “This computer is NEVER OBSOLETE”.
That aged well…
I spent many hours and days in that room, and even at one point, I made it my own room. That’s where I dabbled in hardware and software for a bit, nothing super crazy, but I was always curious and happy to learn something new.
Where I am now…
I’m currently far from the house I grew up in, but I still have that burning passion for technology and learning. I’ve also developed a liking for sharing knowledge via tech talks.
For the longest time, I wanted to have my own platform for blogging and sharing my thoughts, experiments, and knowledge that others could use or find insightful.
But I didn’t want just to use Medium or other online platforms; I wanted my own platform, where I set the rules.
When this thought started, I had little to share on the professional side. I had just started my journey as a Web Developer and didn’t feel ready to “share” whatever little wisdom I had at that moment.
Now, almost 8 years later, things have changed a lot, and I’ve finally found the right time and the right tools to start this endeavor and go beyond.
Where I’m going…
This Tech Blog will be the central place where I share knowledge, tech product experiments, my thoughts, and other things with the world.
This will be an ever-evolving blog, so don’t expect everything to stay the same or change at all. You might find out I updated an old blog post with new information I came up with, or made a necessary edit due to my own mistake when writing the post, or to the code of an example I created at the time.
I will also be sharing information about my participation at community-organized and Other Tech Events where I participate as a speaker around Mexico and the World in the near future.
I’m also working on a No-BS Tech Newsletter. I’m still working around the central concept and the content before launching it or collecting emails, so keep tuned for that in the near future.
But as of today, December 26h, 2025, I will be posting random one-off blog posts about new techniques and neat things I learn when performing some experiments. I’m also working on publishing a few “100 Days of …” Series for some of the Tools and Technologies I use as a Systems Architect/Platform Engineer in my day-to-day job.
In the future, I might create some spin-off specialized courses of the tools I’m working with.
”Per ardua ad astra”
Nothing has been easy so far, but I’m really motivated for this new start, that’s how I see it, and I’m happy to be able to share this knowledge with everybody.
I’m especially committed to creating high-quality tech content for the Spanish-speaking community to help everyone in LATAM grow their skills.
I hope you find my blog useful and you learn something new!

For all transmissions: the words are 100% mine; only the publishing and blog deployment is automated, I work with DevOps, don’t expect anything less.
