As a software developer and business executive, my journey began with earning both my BS and MSc in Computer Science from the University of Costa Rica. At RBX Global, I cultivated my expertise, crafting innovative solutions in the education technology sector. Transitioning into entrepreneurship, I co-founded Edify, a leading Costa Rican software development services firm, alongside six colleagues. My initial role involved leading pivotal projects for our top-tier clients before assuming the mantle of Edify's CEO. Throughout my tenure I've championed our company's growth, steering our strategic vision and fostering a values-centric, mission-driven organizational culture.
