forgetting (src: xkcd)

hello, i'm andrés!

I'm a Venezuelan software engineer based in Vancouver, Canada, currently working at Microsoft on SharePoint Online. I'm also a writer of poetry and short fiction.

I'm passionate about software development, open source projects, digital humanities, literature, languages, social sciences and a lot of other things. You'll find me writing about these topics and everything in between in my blog.

You can also find me online in a lot of places, including:

twitter // fedi // github // instagram

Thank you for being here, and I hope you enjoy this little corner of the internet I call home!
