About Me

Hello, I’m Alfonso. For the past 15 years, I have been building and designing software for a wide variety of businesses, either working in my company In Mexico or, in recent years, working as a member of different companies worldwide. My specialty is full-stack architecture and development, and, as you can see in my resume, I am proficient in several technologies.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, reading a good book, watching a good TV series, playing with my kids, and I recently started training for triathlons.
