Camilo’s passion for programming dates back to his years in grade school, where he discovered his love for coding. The ability to create applications and bring ideas to life sparked his interest in software development, setting him on the path to becoming a proficient developer.

Among his career milestones, one of Camilo’s most significant achievements is obtaining his blackbelt certification in Drupal, which underscores his expertise in the technology. Managing projects across five different teams simultaneously was a particularly challenging yet rewarding experience, providing him with invaluable insights into effective team coordination, multi-tasking, and technological adaptability.

One of the most memorable experiences in Camilo’s career occurred early on when he developed an application for a local news company during a presidential election. The application provided real-time updates on election results, dynamically displaying information on a map. While the project was an exciting technical challenge, an oversight in caching led to the system crashing under heavy user traffic. This experience taught him the importance of scalability, stress testing, and performance optimization, shaping his approach to development and reinforcing his commitment to best practices.
