About Me

Hello! I'm Jose Florez, a Computer and Systems Engineering student based in the vibrant city of Bogota, Colombia. Currently in my fourth semester at Universidad de los Andes, I am passionate about technology and its transformative potential. On this website, I aim to share my knowledge, experiences, and insights related to the world of computer science. Join me on this exciting journey as we explore the fascinating realm of technology together.

Personal Interests

I enjoy the occasional run, finding balance and solitude in it, much like the immersive world of cinema that I love. But my true obsession lies with music, the universal language that crosses all boundaries and deeply resonates with my soul. I am equally fascinated by programming, where I have the opportunity to turn abstract ideas into reality using code. These interests, while diverse, keep me curious and continually fuel my journey of learning and discovery.

My History

Hey there, I'm Jose David Florez Ruiz. I popped into this world on September 18th, 2003, in the buzzing city of Cartagena, Colombia. My father was in the navy, so my childhood was like a crazy road trip, bouncing from place to place. My older sister and brother were along for the ride too, and let me tell you, they've taught me more than anyone else. So, here I am, shaped by all these cool places and amazing family. They've all stoked my fire for adventure, learning, and growing.

Why my Interest in Computers

Driven by an enduring fascination for computers, I'm captivated by their expansive capabilities and limitless potential for growth. But beyond their technical prowess, I value their democratizing power. Computers, with their universal accessibility, level the playing field, opening a world of opportunities for everyone. The rapid evolution of this technology fuels my curiosity, compelling me to delve deeper into understanding these machines. With this knowledge, I envision leveraging computer technology to instigate impactful change, fostering a more equal and interconnected world. My love for computers, thus, is not just an interest, but an integral part of my vision for the future.

Mission Statement

I am committed to leveraging my resources, influence, and compassion to catalyze sustainable change, bring about justice, and practice effective altruism. I strive to illuminate the hidden corners of inequality, to empower marginalized voices, and to replace apathy with action. My mission is to utilize research and evidence-driven strategies to maximize the positive impact on the well-being of individuals and communities, fostering a world that embraces fairness, dignity, and opportunity for all.
