I'm a Computer Systems Engineer with 15+ years in tech, currently Director of Developer Audience at Microsoft, leading Go-To-Market strategy for GitHub and Azure. I'm a developer, blogger, speaker, and content creator who loves sharing about open source, cloud, DevOps, AI, and helping people grow.

• 🌎 Born and raised in Costa Rica 🇨🇷, now living in Orlando, Florida 🇺🇸
• 🗣️ I speak Spanish (native), English (advanced) and Portuguese (limited) — and so does this profile!
• 🎓 Microsoft Certified Trainer & former MVP, currently pursuing a Master's in Systems Engineering at UCF
• 🤖 Focused on the AI Agentic Era: GitHub Copilot, agentic DevOps, and developer productivity
• 💬 Ask me about Azure, GitHub, DevOps, .NET, and building developer communities

My mission: Helping people to build the most innovative solutions with technology. 🚀

🛠️ My weekly AI-generated activity digest will appear here soon — powered by GitHub Models and GitHub Actions.

💡 Tip: Use Azure DevOps Boards to track your project’s progress. Break tasks into manageable chunks, set due dates, and assign team members to keep everyone aligned and accountable throughout your development cycle.

Have a question about my work, talks, projects, or experience? Ask my AI twin — an agent powered by GitHub Models that answers as me, right here in GitHub Issues.

Want to connect your own AI agent to my content? An MCP server that exposes my blog, projects and talks is on the way — so any agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.) can answer questions about me.
