Hi, I am Diego. A passionate developer based in Colombia. 📍🇨🇴
About me
My name is Diego Garcia, and I'm passionate about shaping the digital landscape. My journey began in 2021 when I tackled the Mision TIC Bootcamp while still in high school. It ignited a spark, and after graduation, I enrolled in Software Analysis and Development at SENA. There, I've delved into the fundamentals – requirements engineering, the software development lifecycle, agile methodologies – the tools that bring ideas to life. Databases hold a particular fascination for me, offering a structured world for information to thrive. And of course, I'm honing my skills in the essential languages – Python, Java, JavaScript – the building blocks of the web. My focus is on crafting innovative solutions that leave their mark on the internet. What areas of the digital world excite you the most?
Fast-forward to today, my main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences for a variety of clients.
