SysAdmin, DevOPS, and Music producer in London UK
Who I am: A Systems administrator and analyst, a tech Engineer, a Psychologist, a passionate Cook, a Music Producer in my spare time, a photographer, an amateur Philosopher and an Aspiring World changer.
Born amidst the vibrant culture of the Dominican Republic in the mid-1980s, my journey of life began. However, my upbringing was far from the tropical paradise, as I was raised initially in the grand duchy of Luxembourg, before transitioning into my adolescent years in the picturesque northern regions of Italy. It was here, in the dawn of the new millennium, that I honed my culinary skills and graduated as a Chef de cuisine.
At the tender age of 18, I chose to carve my own path, relocating to the bustling capital of Belgium, Brussels. Here, I immersed myself in the catering industry, initially envisioning it as my lifelong career. However, the winds of change blew once again, and I found myself in the heart of London in the winter of 2006.
London was a city of opportunities, and I seized them to diversify my skill set. I delved into customer service, management, photography, engineering, and IT, each experience enriching my life in its unique way. Yet, my thirst for knowledge and accomplishment was unquenched. After years of dedicated study, I was bestowed with an Upper Second-class Honours degree in Psychology and Counselling by the Open University.
My interests are as diverse as my experiences. I find joy in repairing broken things, solving intricate puzzles, and creating music. I am also passionate about lending a helping hand whenever possible. I am known for my love for reading and my proficiency in scientific scepticism. My rational thinking and philosophical approach to life have earned me respect among my peers.
While some see me as an artist, I view myself as a global citizen, open-minded and determined to make a positive impact on the world. My journey continues, and I am excited to see where it leads me next.
My wonderful kids tell me I make awesome pancakes so there’s that.
