About Diego

Curiosity became a way of building.

I am a software engineer from Durango, Mexico. I enjoy problems that force me to learn something new, especially when software can replace a slow or fragmented process with a system that is easier to operate and evolve.

The path

I originally planned to study law. In 2021, during my second semester of high school, an informatics class asked me to write my name using a block-based programming platform. That small exercise changed my direction: I wanted to understand how software was created.

I started with HTML landing pages, blogs and small C++ algorithms. After an English-only academic term in 2023, I built my first complete university project in 2024: a basic point-of-sale system in Python using Tkinter and object-oriented programming.

Since then, every major project has represented the best system I knew how to build at that moment. CONCORA, Durania, Vexa, Eter, RootSense and Nexo IA each forced me to learn a new domain, architecture or way of collaborating.

I believe I can learn what I do not know. I also believe growth is not an individual competition. Sharing knowledge and helping others improve has become part of how I approach technical leadership.

  1. Discovered programming through a block-based class exercise.
  2. Completed an English-only academic term.
  3. Built my first complete university application in Python and participated in HackMTY.
  4. Returned to HackMTY and started working at CONCORA.
  5. Completed my technical degree; architected Durania, led Vexa, started Eter, worked on RootSense and built the initial Nexo IA architecture.

Working principles

  1. 01Learn what the problem requires.
  2. 02Do not confuse confidence with knowing everything.
  3. 03Share knowledge with the team.
  4. 04Document decisions.
  5. 05Build the best version possible with the information available.
  6. 06Review the result and improve the process next time.
