My History

Since I was a kid my father rescued technology from the trash. He put a lot of effort in it to made it work. We didn't have too much money so the only way to have a TV was waiting until we found one in the garbage and we can fix it.

That taught me two things:

1- A lot of people throw good things instead of learn something to fix it;

2- Nothing is too complicated if you are motivated to learn!

After years we got computers at home, I was fascinated with those machines. Because it was the first time that I played video games? Yes, I was a kid, but also because you could do much more.

I was learning how to make 3D models, textures, even some basic games, I was so fascinated with the technology...

In my free time I discovered that I like to learn new things. So I learned to code, I learned to draw, I learned to play and compose music, I learned about science, mathematics etc. and when the COVID arrived... that all changed.

Now I have more free time, I don't even have a job... Kitchens were closed in Mallorca.
"so... what do I do now?" was the question that I had in my mind all the time. I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted and liked to do. For a while I didn't even search for a new job, I just wanted to know what I want. That was the first time that I thought about changing my career.

I took my savings and I studied game design and programming, I was learning from morning to night. But life hits at some time, I had to find a job again, my savings only allowed me 3 months off.

My only experience was in the kitchen, so my only option to get jobs was in the kitchen. Even if I didn't like it any more, but with the COVID everything was closed so I asked myself again "so... what do I do now?"

One day, a normal and boring day, I found one job offer in The Netherlands, a country that I didn't know anything about, I applied and I got the job.

"It's in the kitchen but this time it's different, another country, I think I like the kitchen but not the kitchen in Spain... r- right?"

Time to learn something new, new culture, new language... The first years in the country were so nice but something was not clicking and I didn't know what.

After another lockdown in The Netherlands I started working for The Brownie Box, a company that makes, well ... brownies ... in a box, it's kinda straight forward. I worked in the bakery of course... but some days I worked in another section, and it was fun, I liked it. "Yes, the problem was the kitchen!" I thought.

During that time I felt more motivated to do what I enjoyed most: create different programs and code libraries, make new 3D models... even hosting my own server with my own programs.

After 2 years there I planned to search a new job and leave the company. I had the dream to search for a different job, something that I would like to do and not something that I have to do.

My plan didn't work out exactly. I had no job, and I felt the same as during the COVID in Spain. So I applied to all the kitchen jobs that I saw, "I need a job, I don't want to leave the country."

So here I am now... writing this, hoping that this time is different, this time will not be a dream and I don't have to wake up.
