Who am I?

Juan R. Figueroa

I love computers. I love prompting ideas into existence. I love using terminals. In this rapid evolving and unpredictable tech landscape, I decided to focus on getting right the fundamentals. What is an API? What is Linux? What are the principles of engineering? Who is JSON?! When should I use a relational or a non-relational database? Thanks to AI we can avoid too much of implementation details, but we cannot ignore the fundamentals. Moreover, in my free time I learn about "unrelated" topics like philosophy, biology, history, economics, and so. I strongly believe that there's an opportunity for polymaths in this new era in which intelligence is at reach of anyone. Building is easier, having taste on what to build is what marks the difference now.
