Hello! I'm Jose David, an IT Support Specialist and aspiring Backend Developer with over 3 years of experience troubleshooting systems, improving reliability, and optimizing IT operations. My journey in IT has given me a strong understanding of how technology connects infrastructure, users, and processes — a perspective I now bring into backend development.
I have a solid foundation in programming and scripting, which allows me to automate tasks, streamline workflows, and create integrations that make systems more efficient. I’m particularly interested in backend technologies that focus on performance, scalability, and security, and I enjoy solving technical challenges that push me to think logically and creatively.
Working across different platforms and environments has taught me adaptability and problem-solving under pressure. I’m always exploring new frameworks, tools, and concepts in server management, networks, and cybersecurity, continuously improving my skills to build reliable, well-structured backend solutions.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been captivated by how things work. I would spend hours taking apart gadgets, repairing mechanical devices, and even building small contraptions just to see them function. My fascination started with physics and science, but it soon extended to computers, where I discovered how software could breathe life into technology and create entirely new possibilities.
As I grew, I found myself setting up and fixing computers for family and friends. These experiences taught me not just the mechanics of devices, but also the patience and problem-solving skills needed to troubleshoot and improve systems. Over time, my curiosity naturally led me toward software development and cybersecurity, areas where logic, creativity, and strategy intersect to solve real-world problems.
What excites me most is the intersection of hardware and software — understanding how things work from the inside out, and using that knowledge to build smarter, more reliable solutions. Even as I dive deeper into backend development, I still carry my love for mechanical systems, dreaming of one day blending both worlds into projects that are practical, innovative, and well-engineered.
Driven by curiosity and a love of learning, I continue to explore, experiment, and challenge myself — always seeking ways to turn ideas into tangible, intelligent systems that make a difference.
Having lived abroad since age 18 and traveled extensively across Latin America, I’ve contributed to human rights initiatives and served as a camp facilitator in Honduras, promoting non-violence and community engagement.
I thrive on challenges that require discipline and adaptability, from practicing climbing to earning a diving certification and paragliding.
I enjoy designing and running Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and playing complex board games, focusing on narrative development, strategy, and social interaction.
I explore unique perspectives through photography and have participated in theatre performances to develop my presence, teamwork, and communication skills.
I am a regular consumer of books, films, and shows that explore possible futures, fueling my curiosity for what’s next.
