Philosopher / programmer / Mexico

I'm Angel Mora, philosopher and programmer.

6+ years of experience

I've always been passionate about programming. I got my first computer when I was 10 and have been breaking, fixing, and learning systems ever since. During college I spent hours in Linux, reading about distros and the Open Source Software Movement. A few years later, in 2017, I started with Ruby and Jekyll, writing a blog called disonancias.org; from there I fell in love with JavaScript, GitHub, and the idea of publishing knowledge as software.

I worked in a Call Center for AT&T and learned a lot about debugging the browser and performing complex SQL queries. My first serious technical challenges were also related to automating writing with Pandoc and Bash. The Unix filesystem and some Bash scripting helped me understand that programming languages are ways to interact with the powerful system a computer is.

In 2019 I landed my first formal job as a Data Analyst using R, Python, and OSINT tools for crime analysis. That job showed me the value of applications that secure, organize, and make complex research accessible.

In 2023 I finished a Cybersecurity Bootcamp from EdX that helped me earn my CompTIA Security+ certification. After that I continued working with international product teams, improving Rails monoliths, internal systems, automation, and products where knowledge becomes infrastructure.

I spend a lot of time improving my Obsidian skills and developing projects for Knowledge Base Networking. I like old-school text editors like Vim and Emacs, GIS projects, and The Rails Way. If you find my profile interesting, don't hesitate to reach out.
