First Steps (2010 - 2016)
How I discovered development
My passion for programming started when I was just 12 years old. I remember the excitement of realizing that logic and code could shape entire worlds, and from that moment I knew I wanted to become a software developer. After finishing high school, I enrolled in university, but at 20, due to personal circumstances, I had to put those studies on hold. Around the same time, I got my very first job.
I began as a systems assistant at a construction company, building small applications in Java. That’s also when I first touched mobile development with Cordova and JQuery Mobile. At the same time, I started creating small websites, and in 2014 I joined QBit, a digital agency, as a Junior Web Developer.
Those years at QBit were key for me. I worked with PHP, WordPress, JavaScript, and Laravel, and learned what it meant to deliver projects for real clients. I collaborated with brands like Toni S.A, Rotoplas, and Juan Marcet, and even developed the advergame Aguanta Sin Parpadear for Leche Toni, which used webcam tracking to detect if the player blinked. It was a crazy but fun challenge.
At QBit I also built games for La Empresa Pública de Parques del Ecuador, using VanillaJS and animation libraries. More than just work, it was a place where I made friends, had great times, and first felt the spark of wanting to create something of my own with others...
