About Me

I have been a Ubuntu user on and off for the past 6 years. I decided to finally give it a full go with my new netbook and obviously, it rocks! I decided that is time for me to get involve in something that I'm passionate about. I'm originally from Colombia but I live in the U.S since 1998. I happen to be a IT professional with emphasis on IT Security. Programming is not my strongest skill but I enjoy practicing and learning any language I can. My desire to help with the Ubuntu community includes Testing (hopefully security testing at some point) and Spanish translations.

Socially

Soccer lover to the bone. Barcelona FC fan without a doubt. Other than playing soccer, I enjoy participating in Triathlons and many other outdoor activities from Scuba Diving to Snowboarding.

Professionally

I earned a bachelors in Computer Information Systems with a minor in business from the Department of Engineering at the University of South Florida. I'm currently finish a Masters in Engineering Management from the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I have been in the IT space for 5 years now including my internships. My focus is on IT security. I have experience on security tool deployments, pen testing, thread modeling, performance/stability/security testing among others.
