About Me

Results-driven software engineer with years of expertise in designing, developing, and implementing robust web applications and solutions within the Web Hosting and VoIP industries. I possess expertise in several programming languages, including PHP and Typescript (continuously improving), as well as advanced proficiency in Shell scripting and occasional use of Perl for specialized tasks such as cPanel module development. My proficiency extends to managing various Linux distributions (Debian/Ubuntu, Slackware, CentOS) and BSD platforms (FreeBSD, GhostBSD). Proven problem solver with an aptitude for troubleshooting and quick mastery of new skills or technologies. I’m also a servant of Christ.

My coding journey began in the early 2000s, self-teaching myself PHP. Around 2003-4, I got my hands on Knoppix, which sparked my fascination with Linux. Venturing into Slackware 10 was challenging, but immensely rewardingβ€”it shaped my technical foundation.

Contributing to the open-source community became a significant part of my path. I created and maintained the Spanish version of Slackware Linux’s Project website, crafted tutorials, and shared knowledge through articles in both English and Latin American tech sites.

Joining a hosting company in 2006 broadened my expertise, immersing me in cPanel/WHM administration, customer support, and later, the VoIP industry. These experiences allowed me to engage in various open-source communities and contribute to projects like Asterisk. (cf.Β [1]Β ,Β [2], [3] , also see: [4] and [5]).

Other contributions: [1][2][3][4]

Presently, I’m focused on back-end PHP development and eagerly exploring languages like Rust, and Typescript. I’m always open to learning and adapting to new technologies.
