Interview
What is the most recent item that you've added to your workspace?
Probably the Time Timer and the little lego-like Dumbledore and Wall-E right below the monitor.
How do you spark creativity?
I follow designers and developers on Twitter and LinkedIn and usually look at the great things they're creating to inspire me too.
What does your typical day look like?
I wake up, get up, open the blinds and windows to get natural light and fresh air. Then take a shower, walk the dogs, have breakfast and start working. After noon, I walk the dogs again, and have lunch, then work more, and walk the dogs again. I go to the gym 3 days per week and on other days I have meetings preparing Boyacá Dev activities or work on some personal projects or courses.
What do you enjoy most about WFH life?
I like the flexibility and freedom. I can spend time with my family or my dogs, and have a great personal space that's truly mine and that I find comfortable to do my work and enjoy doing it.
