Skills.
These are some of my most outstanding skills, interests such as reading, cinema, music, history or psychology drive these activities.
Languages.
I speak Spanish as my native language, I like good spelling and grammar, one of the applications I use the most is the Dictionary of the Spanish language (from the RAE).
My English is competitive and I keep improving it, I attend classes at Aló Idiomas.
Additionally, almost daily due to my readings I have a continuous approach to etymologies and Latin and Greek languages.
Reasoning.
Logical and mathematical reasoning is part of my daily life, I consider myself dedicated to it, in fact, it was one of the lessons I learned best from a good teacher.
I won the Mathematical Reasoning contest in my high school, which consisted of a test with approximately 40 questions and a maximum time of one hour. As a side note, I showed up unpunctual for that competition, since I was also in the public speaking contest on the same day.
a = 1;
b = 1;
c = (a + b)0; Oratory.
I like public speaking very much, school expositions have never been a problem for me. I won the Oratory contest in my high school, in the preliminary I spoke in front of about 60 people, and in the final about 40, in both participations I had to present a speech of no more than 8 minutes duration on a previously developed topic, I spoke about learning.
Chess.
I learned about chess when I was twelve years old. I won in the internal tournament of my school that had about 30 participants, I did not lose any game and the last game took me less than 2 minutes. I have attended a couple of times the club in my state, which has semi-professional players. On the biggest chess platform, Chess.com, I have an average ELO of 1550, and a very close one in real competitions, what will make it sound better is that my chess study is almost nil, 90% of my play is practice and reasoning, and the other 10% basic theory and rules.
One of the many things I like about chess is its mathematical relationship, for example, after the first two moves there are 197,742 possible positions on the board.
Programming.
I learned to program when I was 15 years old, after deciding that Automotive Maintenance was not a career that satisfied my academic taste I decided to change my career to Computer Science, in less than a month I learned what I needed to overcome my peers who had already taken a semester of subjects that I did not take with them, but above all, I discovered how much I like programming.
Programming combines design, logic, problem solving, data modeling, reasoning, numbers, English, among many other factors. I am proficient in languages like JavaScript (my favorite), TypeScript, PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS; frameworks like Astro, Next.js, React, Vue, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, and a list that goes on.
I currently work as a programmer at Profesionalización Virtual with project-based payments for my book expenses and my English classes mainly. My professional portfolio and my GitHub account contain more information about my work dedication.

For me, programming is a very creative and personal job. And I support the idea of several of the technology innovators:
Design.
I handle design theory and programs such as Inkscape or Figma. I believe that design is one of the most fundamental languages of today.
Design goes beyond just colors and typographies. It's about communicating a lot with the minimum, Steve Jobs understood that very well:
Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.- Steve Jobs.
In addition, design has a lot to do with psychology: colors, typographies, shapes, have a personality of their own; and for someone very meticulous like me it is very satisfying to see the pixels in the right place.
Technology.
I manage a wide range of programs, from the Office package, editing programs, productivity programs such as Notion, to AI applications, collections, libraries, etc., since my work and my taste for technology demand it.
In my high school I got awards for knowledge about networks and the use of advanced Excel for database management, I also took courses in machine learning and the use of artificial intelligence. I was also part of the robotics club formed by 6 members, and I led a development team during my internship.
I always try to keep myself updated, discovering tools to be more efficient and improve professionally and academically.
Learning.
At the age of 11 I memorized the history of Mexico, in middle school I memorized all the elements of the periodic table, I also got the highest grade in an achievement test in front of approximately 25 other students (some from higher grades), in middle school I also wrote more than 1000 research papers that the teacher left as homework, since I loved to develop the topics.
As a child I realized that I had a very fast and efficient learning ability, and that I could remember large amounts of information in the short term, and long term with sufficient repetition.
Learning is something I love.
Academic.
Since elementary school teachers used my activities or exams as a basis for grading the rest. All my presentations were satisfactory. I was always the first to finish class exercises correctly, and the best student in the class and the school.
In high school I was awarded the title of “Student of Academic Excellence”, for which I was part of the national yearbook of the Colegio Nacional de Educación Profesional Técnica.
Some of the adjectives my teachers have used to describe my personality in class are: reserved, participative, proactive, respectful, interested, quiet, calm, smart, intelligent, etc., but I prefer: curious. I never had any doubts in class, I asked them as soon as they came to my mind, and I will continue to do so.
Teaching.
Since elementary school, due to my academic dedication, my responsibility and honesty, I began to help teachers review exams and assignments. In high school, some of them gave me the opportunity to explain topics or concepts to my classmates.
When I graduated, a teacher recommended me to teach at a school, where I was accepted. From September until a month ago, I taught students from 8 to 18 years old, two weekly classes of two hours each, in Technology and Programming. Sometimes I also taught Science or Chess, since they asked me to help them review.
Leadership.
During my internship in high school, I led a programming team of 4 people over a period of almost 8 months for a project for the municipal DIF of Chiapa de Corzo, an "Integrated Management System" to streamline internal processes.
I did my school service at my high school library, during the afternoon, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., although sometimes I stayed an hour or two longer, the librarian left me in charge and I led two classmates.
At school I always took on the role of team leader. My seriousness and commitment allow me to maintain enough control so that things are completed in a timely manner.
Speedcubing.
When I was about 12 years old I learned to solve a standard Rubik's cube, it took me about 2 hours, in less than a week I was solving it in an average of one and a half minutes, currently my record is 21 seconds.
In addition to the standard 3x3 cube, I have learned to solve 5 more variants: 2x2, 4x4, Pyraminx Cube, Megaminx Cube and Windmill Cube.
