About me
Professional Background
I'm a seasoned software professional based in Costa Rica, with over 15 years of experience across the full software development lifecycle. As a graduate of the Costa Rica Institute of Technology (TEC), I've built my career helping organizations deliver high-quality software solutions.
Throughout my journey, I've worn many hats—starting as a software developer, evolving into business analysis and quality assurance, and now serving as a Solution Architect specializing in enterprise implementations. I combine technical expertise with business strategy to deliver impactful solutions for complex business systems.
Database & SQL Expertise
My relationship with databases spans my entire career. I've worked extensively with PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB2 across various industries and project types—from e-commerce platforms to enterprise resource planning systems. This hands-on experience with multiple database platforms gives me a unique perspective on SQL fundamentals that work across all systems, not just one vendor's implementation.
Whether designing normalized database schemas, optimizing complex queries for performance, or implementing data integrity through transactions, I've applied SQL in real production environments serving thousands of users daily.

PMP Certified Project Manager (PMI)
Systems Engineer with Java/Groovy specialization
Requirements Engineering professional ( IREB Certitified )

Quality Assurance practitioner (ISTQB Foundation certified)
Teaching Philosophy
My courses reflect real-world experience—not just theory. I focus on practical, applicable knowledge that you can use immediately in your career. Whether you're learning SQL, software testing, or requirements engineering, my goal is to bridge the gap between concepts and professional practice.
I create courses in both English and Spanish to make quality tech education accessible to a broader audience. Each course combines structured learning with hands-on exercises, ensuring you not only understand the material but can apply it confidently.
Beyond the Classroom
When I'm not architecting solutions or creating courses, you'll find me exploring AI development, building RAG systems, and continuously expanding my technical toolkit. I believe in lifelong learning and share that passion with my students.
