About Me

I began my professional journey in architecture, where I helped establish the first CAD environment for one of Panama’s largest firms during the early days of digital adoption. That experience sparked a fascination with precision, modularity, and the power of well-structured systems—values that continue to guide my approach to software development.

Today, I build tools that extend architectural thinking into code. I’m certified in Python and C#, and I’m exploring the .NET ecosystem with ASP.NET Core, Blazor, and Azure. My goal is to create reusable, reliable, and user-friendly applications that solve real problems.

I work primarily in Windows—where most engineering tools live—but I admire the elegance of MacOS and the resilience of Linux coders. I choose platforms based on purpose, not popularity.

This site is part of my Exploration to Reinvention roadmap—a modular portfolio that reflects both where I’ve been and where I’m headed.

Learning Journey

1990s – Architecture & CAD Foundations

Licensed in structural architecture. Built the first CAD environment at Mallol Arquitectos, navigating early digital workflows with AutoCAD, HP plotters, and DOS-based file systems.

2000s – BIM & Design Systems

Adopted Archicad and began exploring modular design logic. Transitioned from drafting to modeling, integrating data-rich workflows and collaborative design practices.

2010s – Automation & Scripting

Introduced Python into design workflows. Used scripting for wind load analysis and file management. Began experimenting with automation and parametric logic.

2020s – Reinvention & Software Development

Earned certifications in Python and C#. Built modular templates in .NET, launched Roadmap103b.Stage1 and Stage2, and began shaping a design-first developer identity.

2025 – Exploration to Reinvention

Publishing modular projects, building a static site, and sharing a journey that blends architecture, automation, and expressive documentation.
