Martín Morales

So you want to know who’s behind this digital space. Let me tell you.

TL;DR

I’m Martín. I’m a mechatronic engineer who somehow ended up as an Android developer, and after a few wrong turns, I wouldn’t change it. I’m based in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Being a little more detailed

I was born on June 17th, and I’ve always been impatient - in the curious kind of way. Growing up, I’d take apart calculators, watches, whatever had screws. I was the kid who finished the school activity early just to draw or bother the classmate next to me.

In high school I studied Computer Science and that’s where I first wrote code and thought: this is it. Then I switched lanes and went into Mechatronic Engineering with big dreams of building robots. The job market had other plans.

After finishing the degree I spent a few years in small companies trying to find my footing, without much luck. Then 2020 happened - COVID, the reset - and I made the jump to Android development. It clicked. I haven’t looked back.

These days I work from home (remote work changed my life, and I know it), occasionally going into the office when there’s an actual reason to.

Connect

I’m mostly at home, and I’m okay with that. When I do leave, it’s usually to travel somewhere or play some sport. You can also find me on Instagram or pushing commits on GitHub.
