PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I'm a self-taught web developer from Mexico. I got into web development out of pure interest
during my last year of high school, so I took a course to learn the basics and started working on
some small projects, essentially learning on-the-go. This forced me to maximize my problem
solving skills and ability to learn new things.
Nowadays, I'm very confident in my ability with PHP, HTML, JavaScript and CSS; and have
worked with multiple frameworks for those languages. However, I'm constantly learning new
languages and technologies.
I've worked most on WordPress development. I've developed themes and plugins from scratch,
as well as customized already built ones.
