I learned to code at 15 the way a lot of us did: C, then Java. In 2011 I jumped to the web with Microsoft's first HTML5 / CSS3 course — Windows 8 was still in beta and the cloud wasn't the default conversation yet. At Mejorando.la (now Platzi) I learned Python. I never put the keyboard down.
The path wasn't a straight tech job. To stay in Texas I took rope access and NDT in the Gulf Coast refineries. After a shift I came home and built. That mix is the point: I ship like someone who has worked where mistakes are expensive, and I still write software for people who have to find a contractor on Google — or ask ChatGPT who to call.
Today I run Zeroˣ Digit from the Houston area: bilingual sites and tools so small businesses actually show up online.
This repo is my personal site. The Python work lives next to it — Pitch Doctor, GitHub License Scanner, TexasBizFinder, and Pyron.

Llevo más de 15 años en la web — Latinoamérica, Canadá y Texas(USA). A los 15 empecé con C y Java. En 2011 me pasé a HTML5/CSS3/JAVASCRIPT. En Platzi aprendí Python, sigo refinando mis habilidades en technologias y herramientas web. Para quedarme en Texas entré a rope access y NDT; después del trabajo sigo creando web. Hoy dirijo Zeroˣ Digit para que un negocio pequeño se encuentre en Google y en ChatGPT.
