Hello, World! 🤓

I'm Juan Paulo, but you can call me just J.P.. I learned Full-Stack Web Development at Microverse (highly recommended). I'm currently working as a Consultant at Apex Systems. I'm also bootstrapping an EdTech Startup (check here).

🎯 My goal is to develop innovative learning materials for high school students
and shorten the achievement gap in Latin America.

My Background

I studied Linguistics at National School of Anthropology and History, and Sociology at National Autonomous University of Mexico. It could sound that I did a career shift into Web Development, but I didn't. My pregraduate research work was about the language policies in the education system of Mexico. I learned Web Development because I considerer it as a powerful tool to deliver better policies in the education system.

My Projects

Right now, my main project is the company that I founded: Daiuk.

I showcase my Full-Stack Web Development projects here.

I'm also a sporadical contributor of cultural magazines as Nexos; and a regular contributor of tech-related blogs such as Hackernoon.

I have drafted a novel and a book of short stories. I would like to have a long vacation to finish those books.

My hobbies

I love writing, and I host a Shut & Write Meet Up at Guadalajara. I'm not bad, I even won second place in a short stories contest! (if you read in Spanish, I hope you can enjoy it).

I like to read science fiction, realism, and pop science books. 📚

For a long time, my favorite sport was chess. But as I spend a lot of time in a chair, I rarely play chess now. My current hobbies are riding the bicycle and running. However, I am always ready for a chess match. Challenge me! ♟️ 🦾

Fun Fact

For a while, I was paid for doing memes in a local newspaper. 😅
