Nice to Meet You
I'm Christian López, a software engineer based in Quito, Ecuador. I recently graduated as a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science Engineering from the Universidad San Francisco de Quito and I'm currently working full-time as a Jr. Software Developer at Devsu.
During my free time, I enjoy working on various types of projects involving technology one way or another. From simple hobby projects that people can use, to research assistance for my university, to implementing artistic ideas for art collectives.
I also enjoy learning languages. I can speak English, Spanish, French, a bit of Portuguese and I'm now learning Korean.
Background
A Story of Passion
When I was 5 years old, I enjoyed playing flash games on the family computer.
When I was 8 years old I got my first computer that my father won at a raffle. I used it mostly to play games and browse the web (which was much simpler at the time).
When I was 13 years old I learned basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript and made my own website. It is also the time I decided I wanted to become a software developer in the future.
When I was 17 years old I created my account on GitHub and started building open source projects - mostly bots for Discord.
Fast-forward to today, I finished my studies in computer science and I'm now an engineer, working on projects that passionate me, leveraging the latest technologies to build awesome software that people can enjoy.
