Bio 👨‍💻

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷 My first contact with computers was through a PC running Windows 3.1 — and of course, DOS. 🖥️

But what truly sparked everything wasn’t the computer itself — it was a question. Around the year 2000 or maybe even earlier, when I started playing video games distributed on CDs, I would install them and play them, but something began to bother me… Why did I always need to keep the CD inserted in order to play? The moment I removed it, the game stopped working. It needed the CD to run. That frustrated me deeply. I kept thinking: “If I copy all the files from the CD to my hard drive, it should work… but it doesn’t! So why doesn’t it work?”

So I started researching. Back then, that meant connecting through dial-up modem 📞 — that unforgettable sound before connecting, the painfully slow speeds, all the limitations of that era. But I was determined. That search led me to reverse engineering, and reverse engineering led me to Assembly language. That was the moment my mind exploded. 🤯

Assembly was the first programming language I ever discovered, and I was instantly fascinated by it. Right there, in that moment, I started to understand that everything was possible — that somewhere inside that code there was an instruction telling the CPU: “Look for this file on the CD, not on the hard drive.” From that moment on, I wasn’t just playing games anymore — I wanted to understand how CDs and games actually worked.

That passion naturally expanded toward programming languages like C, then C++, and eventually many others. But those first steps with Assembly, binary analysis, and reverse engineering always pulled me toward low-level systems: kernel interaction, Windows internals, driver development, binary analysis. Without formally studying it at the time, I was already shaping myself into a systems programmer.

Life had other plans — I had to start working and couldn’t continue university at that moment. But I never let go of that passion. I always remained self-taught. After long workdays, I would come home, open my browser, and spend hours reading the Computer Science curriculum from the University of Buenos Aires — every course, every topic. I always knew that was where I belonged.

In 2023, I made an important decision: to finally dedicate time to what I had always loved. Today, I’m studying for a University Technical Degree in Programming at UTN Pacheco and enrolled in Computer Science at the University of Buenos Aires — as it could not have been otherwise.

Nowadays, I’m diving deeply into Rust. Naturally, my interests remain focused on low-level development: driver development, kernel interaction, WebAssembly. It’s an incredibly powerful language. In fact, as mentioned on the homepage, this website features a dynamic interface powered by a graphics engine developed in Rust and WebAssembly.

Work

My professional path has been varied and interesting, although I always found ways to stay close to technology.

I started at Medix I.C.S.A in 2003, operating 800w and 1500w laser cutting machines in the Production department. I configured cuts for different mechanical parts and participated in the assembly of neonatal incubator canopies — products that literally help save newborn lives.

In 2010, I made a major transition within the same company, which became Medix, a Division of Natus, a U.S.-based multinational company. I joined the Engineering department as a Technical Draftsman and later became a Sustaining Engineer. I worked with SolidWorks and AutoCAD creating technical drawings for mechanical parts, molds, and injection systems. Over time, I took on more responsibilities, including ECR/ECO tracking and participating in the implementation of the RoHS project. That was when the world of software development started intersecting with my formal career.

In 2016, I moved into Logistics at Medical Devices as a Logistics Coordinator and Supply Chain Assistant. I managed routing, distribution, inventory, foreign trade, and fleet operations, among other responsibilities. But what impacted me the most in that role was serving as the direct bridge between Sales, Production, Purchasing, Engineering, and Technical Service departments — I learned a tremendous amount about how organizations function internally and how to align very different teams toward a shared goal.

And in 2023, I finally made the decision I had postponed for years: dedicating myself fully to studying Computer Science. Even though it was a difficult decision, it turned out to be one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I truly enjoy it.

Likes

Low-level programming. The closer to the hardware, the better.
Reverse engineering and binary analysis.
Understanding why and how things work — always.
80s music, rock, and pop, although honestly I enjoy all kinds of music. 🎵
Swimming, which I practice three times a week. 🏊
Learning, because knowledge is the only superpower available to every human being.
Russian language and culture. 🇷🇺
Playing the guitar. 🎸

Dislikes

Superficial explanations that skip the “why.”
Leaving things unfinished or settling for “good enough.”

Hobbies

Reverse engineering challenges, binary analysis, and malware analysis. Studying Computer Science — both formally and self-taught. Playing guitar, although not as often as I’d like. Exploring how operating systems and kernels work internally.
