Sears Holdings
Talent Sourcer/Technical Recruiter
Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area

I spent most nights in computer labs understanding the meaning of life while my non-engineering friends partied in South Beach.


I started my career as a government contractor in software and hardware projects. This experience felt like a Jason Bourne movie but without the action scenes. On my free time I studied about open source and discovered Ruby on Rails. I learned that many startups in Chicago were using this technology so I moved there to follow the startup dream.


In Chicago I worked in product development, marketing and sales. I learned that life was not only about writing code. I organized a few hackathons including the first hackathon in a train.


A few years later I moved back to Miami to follow other dreams. I was an advocate for agile, test driven development, lean startup, growth hacking and I helped startups grow using these concepts.


I knew I had a higher purpose in life. I spent endless nights looking for Morpheus but he found me first. Since mid 2016 I have been working for Sears Holdings as a Talent Sourcer to grow teams with technical leaders. This is a great company to work for and make an impact.
