Yeah, I also have a geeky side, and I’ve always been passionate about computers and learning how things work. So, at first, I decided to learn to code, and then I got obsessed with data science, so I got a certificate as a Data Analyst just to validate my random entrepreneurial ideas.  What sparked this journey, you may ask?

1. A developer told me that implementing a feature I wanted would take about a week. 
 
2. I wanted to test if writing code was the same as writing in English or Spanish. In the end, a language is a language, right?

3. As a former designer and now full-time copywriter, I wanted to prove whether it was possible to design anything using only words.

As I was learning, I decided to code this website for my friend’s company in Canada. I did it free of charge.
He liked it so much that we ended up working on a paid project that will see the light of day pretty soon.  



Then, I started playing around with responsive websites, so I did an interactive site that included some “borrowed” JS code. This site was a fun one.



Finally, after being trapped at home due to the pandemic, someone let me borrow a camera.
I started a YouTube channel, got a couple of hundred subscribers, studied film direction at NYFA, directed a couple of films, and made some clients (paid and non-paid). But the missing piece was — drum roll, please — a website.
So, I went back to writing, and this is the final result.



I’m not a developer or a data scientist, but now I know enough to see through a vendor stalling on a project. I mostly write code for entertainment purposes and to keep my reputation intact with my very techy nephew.




These are my findings about the questions above: 

1. It took me five minutes to figure out the right implementation for the feature I wanted to add. A quick glance at Stack Overflow,  a cup of coffee, and boom, problem solved.
2. A language is a language regardless of whether it is English, Spanish, Python, Java, or Ruby on Rails. They all have rules of grammar and punctuation.

3.  Yes, it is possible. Pixels are code for non-tech people.
