I’m from Bogotá. I’ve worked in cybersecurity since before I finished university, and I’ve written poetry since I was fifteen. This year I published my first book.
About me
I started my career in cybersecurity before graduating, and along the way I’ve built companies, communities and knowledge projects, always trying to put my skills to work improving the world around me.
Since my teens I’ve had a strong artistic streak, which I’ve expressed by writing poetry and listening to music with an almost obsessive attention.
Spirituality, consciousness and personal growth will always be fascinating subjects to learn, grow and argue about.
M.Sc. in Cybersecurity. CEH, CHFI, GSEC, PCI ISA and CCNA CyberOps.
Mi Fuego
My Fire. Poetry and short prose, in Spanish, 2026
Mientras el silencio del todo,
acompaña las raíces de una mirada
que junto a la magia
no encuentra su refugio.
I started writing in secret at fifteen, looking out of my bedroom window. This book gathers poems and stories from more than twenty years, in five parts: fire, shadow, ash, light and ember.
- Fuego
- Sombra
- Ceniza
- Luz
- Brasa
On Kindle and paperback. If you read it, an Amazon review helps me a lot.

Not So Popular Essence
It goes after the essence, starting with music your ears most likely haven’t heard. Rock and metal far from the usual charts.
