My story in brief.
I was born in México into a family of artists.
Growing up I kept myself busy.
I managed a private MMORPG server, a web agency and an T-Shirts webshop. I was 13-16 years.
I also spent lots of time reading.
Software engineering, design, color theory, economics, typography, marvel comics…
At 18, I moved to The Netherlands.
Got a job as a software engineer at Qelp and studied computer science for a year. I had studied most of subjects on my own already.
I began prototyiping things like…
An app to democratize music playlists in shared spaces such as home parties, bars and gyms.
…and…
A location based social network that would later become the foundation of my start-up.
At 20, I was hired to innovate for the corporate.
I joined KPN‘s Innovation Department where I became front-end tech lead for their E-Commerce department.
At 21, I authored my first open-source projects…
…and started contributing to even more.
At 22, I joined KPN‘s security labs.
Where I worked researching and launching secure products such as KPN’s end-to-end encrypted file transfer service.
At 23, I started Okuna.
