Professional Vision

I am preparing to specialize in cybersecurity, with a focus on best practices, standards and hardening. I have earned complementary cybersecurity certifications, which have allowed me to strengthen my understanding of digital defense and the design of more secure systems.

Education

I am currently studying Systems Engineering at the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) and am close to graduating. Throughout this process, I have maintained outstanding academic performance, a reflection of my genuine interest in learning, improving and applying my knowledge to projects with real impact.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active and disciplined. I practice boxing with demanding training, complemented by running sessions and gym workouts, which help me strengthen both mind and body. I follow a strict, balanced diet free of sugar, soft drinks, bread and salt, with the goal of improving my physical performance and keeping a mindset focused on excellence and consistency.

Entrepreneurship

Alongside my career in web development, I am an entrepreneur and currently run a small venture selling high-performance business laptops, offering equipment at highly competitive and affordable prices. This project grew out of my interest in bringing technology closer to more people, and in the future I plan to launch a free laptop giveaway program to support university students, especially at UNAH, and anyone who needs a tool to boost their learning or work.
