I’ve studied web development since 2009. Since 2016 I’ve practiced it seriously, professionally. This is my story.
When you hire me, you don't talk to an account executive or get reports from someone who never touched your project. I talk to you, I build your site, and I run your strategy myself. On projects that need more volume, I bring in writers and specialists I trust, but direction and accountability are never delegated.
That creates a level of accountability few agencies can match. My clients know it: most of them hand me their entire digital strategy.
15+ projects, no WordPress
I started studying web development in 2009. It didn't take long to realize something very few developers admit: a pretty website nobody can find is worthless.
That's why in 2016 I started practicing professional SEO. Not with just any course: I enrolled in the SEO Master's degree from Dean Romero & Dani Yamares (3rd edition), one of the most complete programs in the Spanish-speaking market, focused on niche, agency, and local SEO.
Since then I've combined technical web development with SEO strategy to offer something few people know how to do together. The result: clients who hand me everything.
I don't study to collect diplomas. I study to apply it immediately to my clients' projects.

Most come through referrals and hand me their entire digital strategy
I'm an entrepreneur. I co-founded Gurcoff, a family ice cream business in Pitalito, Colombia. That taught me something no marketing manual can: what it feels like when the business is yours, when the customer doesn't show up, when a bad digital decision has real consequences.
I constantly read about entrepreneurship, leadership, productivity, finance, and marketing strategy, and I apply all of it directly to the digital strategies I design for my clients. An SEO consultant who doesn't understand business is just a keyword technician.
Today I work with clients in Colombia and the United States. My track record is public: I have an Upwork profile with ratings anyone can check, unedited and unfiltered. Over more than 10 years I taught myself English until I could work fluently in it. The same method I apply to SEO: learn, practice, improve.
