Tell us a little bit about your background.
I am a happy Mexican person, I was born in Mexico City but lived in a city 45 minutes away from there, due to my parents work. I would visit every weekend Mexico City because all of my family lived there (Grands, uncles, cousins). I took computer-related classes since elementary (Computer Science, History, Geography were my favorite subjects). I got my Bachelor in Engineer in Computer Security while studying this and after graduating I worked for HP. I moved to Canada in 2012 permanently (I have lived temporarily before) after moving I studied at BCIT Network Administration and Security Professional (Certificate), and later on a diploma in Computer Information Security Administration. I also worked in the IT department in BCIT as a Network Proctor, right after I graduated I started working for Sophos. I have had a wide range of jobs related to IT and the Food industry. What I like the most about IT is Networking.
