About Me

Hello! I'm Felix, born in the beautiful city of Valdivia, Chile, in 1983. From an early age, I delved into the fascinating world of computing. At the age of 8, I began exploring programming, creating small programs that helped me with school tasks on my Atari 800XL using Logo. These early steps marked the beginning of a passion that would last a lifetime.

My innate curiosity to understand how things work led me to dismantle and rebuild various electronic devices, a skill that, by the age of 12, became a source of income repairing computers and installing software for those seeking technical solutions.

At 15, I developed my first commercial management and administration programs using FoxPro, laying the groundwork for a career filled with achievements and discoveries. It was at 16 when I encountered Linux, specifically Mandriva, an initially challenging experience that planted the seeds of my preference for open-source operating systems. Since then, I've remained faithful to this philosophy, adopting openSUSE as my preferred operating system to this day.

My enrollment in the Austral University of Chile to study Civil Engineering in Computer Science solidified my vocation. I quickly discovered a natural affinity for algorithm development and logical problem-solving, which led to my distinction in the field. During this period, I expanded my horizons in the world of technology, actively participating in projects both on and off-campus.

It was during university where my preference for being a Full Stack developer crystallized. The ability to work on all aspects of a project, from design to implementation, greatly appealed to me. I developed multiple projects that encompassed both frontend and backend, honing my skills across all layers of software development.

My university career was marked by contributions to the development and implementation of the IPv6 protocol in LATAM, as well as involvement in the development of hardware controllers for Linux and the creation of software in various languages. Despite my commitment to technology, I also made time for my passions, participating in the Lag.cl community and collaborating on game server implementations in Chile.

Over time, I transitioned to a formal professional career, joining the GTD Group. Here, I played key roles in developing innovative solutions, from television rating analysis platforms to deploying Chile's first virtual mobile operator. My experience encompassed a wide range of projects, including number portability solutions, distributed database deployments, and the development of products related to wireless services.

In 2020, I decided to pivot my career by joining Bloqs4Good, where I had the honor of serving as the company's CTO. Here, I applied my Blockchain certifications and contributed to the development of distributed, highly available, and secure solutions. I had the opportunity to work on FaaS, SaaS, and IaaS services, exploring new technological frontiers and constantly challenging my skills.

Today, I dedicate myself to advising companies, leading projects, and providing specialized support, always committed to seeking out the best available technologies. My professional journey has been an exciting adventure, and I'm thrilled about the opportunities that the future holds at the forefront of technological innovation.

Thank you for visiting my website! I'm excited to connect with you and explore how we can work together to achieve your technological and business goals.
