Guatemalan, Mayan Q’anjob’al, immigrant, family man, tech entrepreneur.

Born and raised in Santa Eulalia, Huehuetenango, Guatemala; at fourteen I migrated undocumented and unaccompanied by any family member to the United States of America, fleeing the war – just as thousands of children from the region continue attempting today in order to flee poverty, hunger and criminal violence. I went to high school and university in California. I worked as a gardener on weekends, and that is how I found an unexpected link to the technology industry. Taking this path led me to overcome limits that seemed impossible; transforming my reality, that of my family and that of my community.

This is my story.
