About Me

My name is Luis Fernando Cruces Vidal. I started my journey in the fascinating world of tech as a kid, playing videogames, which allowed me to develop problem solving skills. Due to my high academic performance in the national standardized test in Colombia, I was awarded the "PiloPaga" scholaship which covered full tuition, at any public or private university in Colombia, of the bachelor's degree of my choice. I decided to study Software System Engineering at Icesi University, one of the best in the country.

As a full stack software developer, I have gained experience working for different industries such as finances, education, and crypto. My main professional goal is to develop and enhance IT applications that can help improve the quality of life of people around the world through groundbreaking and efficient technologies, built upon top-tier development techniques and design patters.
