Hi, I’m Juanda and I’m a programmer born and raised in Colombia.
I’ve been programming since I was 12 and all I had was a x286 PC with 128MB of HDD and 16MB of RAM. I’ve also been involved in the world of startups and had an exit in late 2013.
During my time as co-founder at WeHostels, I created and scaled a RESTful JSON API that is currently used by many thousands of users every day to book accommodation around the world.
I love Ruby on Rails and founded the Bogotá Ruby Meetup before leaving to leave in New York City for 6 months. It was a great opportunity to meet talented people in Colombia.
I’m motivated by solving hard problems and I find particularly interesting the scalability and architectural problems; however above all, what I value the most is to work on things that solve real problems for real people.
I have a github profile, a twitter profile and sometimes write in my blog.
I’m also a freeletics enthusiast and also created the Freeletics Bogotá Facebook Group.
