About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and explore the world

ABOUT ME

I work as an engineer, but try to spend my free time doing non-technical things and away from my job. I try to take at least one trip a year abroad and work allows me to do that. I´ve been to Korea, Japan, Brussels, Holland and Luxembourg this (past) year. I went to college in Boston and DC (GW).

I am orignally from Puerto Rico, so I speak Spanish. I like to ride my bicicle during the summer, kayak, visit the museums at the Mall, and just be outside.

PHILOSOPHY

Help leave things better than how I found them.
