For the past month, I have been looking for ideas that make me visible in engineering. I noticed I couldn't prove my work and my overall experience. I couldn't show what I did during my last jobs. So, I started to build a personal brand and make some changes to my portfolio and digital networks. The first step was creating a digital brand where I could put my last jobs and projects, this way all people could see my abilities. Creating a brand is not an easy task, I needed to think about a name and started to upload my p[previous works there. Ultimately, it would be a great space where I could put all my progress during these times.  The next step was modifying my current network. I had my LinkedIn account for several years, but I never put much effort into trying to make it more engaging and agreeable to job recruiters. I modified my bio, and my profile photo, and added my last experience as a freelance entrepreneur. Then I started to upload content on my social networks. In th...

Last month, I decided to make some changes in my life, after several months of stagnation and doubts about my life, I started to delete what I considered unnecessary. The first step was deleting social media, I was wasting my time on consuming tons of media content, videos, posts, and photos, and scrolling on my phone to feel something. Although there were times when a video or a post made me realize certain things or helped me on some occasions, most of the time I was there just to waste my time. Initially, it cost me to adapt to these new changes, but over time, I felt less tired, more motivated, and even more focused on important things rather than just venal things. I recognize those changes led me to loneliness and isolation, but at the same time forced me to interact more with the real world. The second change was about doing activities outdoors, For a while I was doing exercise in my home, doing the same routine and having zero interaction with the exterior. It helped me to avoi...

This year has not been good especially for my health, since 2024 began, I started to notice some health issues that time ago I didn't expect.  My skin condition came with new symptoms, now I currently have gone to the doctor more times than the previous years. This annoying condition is harder than previous outbreaks, now neither doctor can precisely diagnose me, and my budget has suffered the ignorance of the medical staff. Previously, I had a clogged ear, that affected my hearing, which made me realize how important is to maintain good cleaning habits. Since then, I never used headphones anymore. Health is a precious gift, I have been blessed with good genetics, in my family there are no genetic illnesses or some kind of disorders that can be inherited.  However, those health issues that I have been struggling with made me realize how fortunate I was to have good health. I hope in the next weeks I can recover my health condition and can take care of myself more. S.

Back then in the year 2014, a young version of myself was desperate to have something to do with his life, after deciding to abandon the college during my sophomore year I needed to figure out what to do during my spare time. I already had taken some guitar music classes where my friend tried unsuccessfully to teach me some basic concepts, he also recommended me a guitar teacher, one that had taught to him some years ago. I decided to take the classes and use my sister's old classic guitar which I had forgotten for a while. The first formal class I received was a challenging experience, I couldn't put my fingers through the guitar diapason, and the teacher tried to teach me some basic chords (following the CAGED system), over the days I could put some chords in the guitar and play some basic notes, I tried to understand the theory behind and enjoy the music I was playing. After many days, I could put and recognize some chord sharps, cleaned and reused the old guitar, and recall...
