My Journey

From discovering programming to becoming a Java Champion and Spring Developer Advocate

My Journey

My journey to becoming a more active programmer did not start as a straight line or by mistake. Thanks to my mom, who made me a real a computer when I was growing out of high school. At first, I was nervous about getting into programming as a career.

After being abroad in the UK was when I eventually decided that this was the route I wanted to take as a life path, however it wasn't straightforward as I was in school and still I needed to work.

Our blog has always dealt with code

Our thing has has always dealt with code over the years to have guided us and still all of us people who taught and inspired this. The biggest sign is every being what happens online teaching.

In my personal life I am a husband to my bestfriend and a dad to two wonderful children. I love to read in my free time. I really enjoy getting outside, spending time at family and would say that most of my time at home, I love my family dearly.
