Get to know me!

Hey there! I’m Elvis, born and raised in the sunny city of Maracaibo,Venezuela. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been the go-to tech handyman in my family. Whenever a computer crashed or needed a reformat, they knew who to call—me! However, instead of just sticking with a career in IT, I decided to level up. That’s why I went for a degree in Electronic Engineering, focusing on Automation and Control Processes at Rafael Belloso Chacín University.

Funnily enough, I never ended up working in anything I was actually supposed to do as an electronic engineer! 😅

My Career Journey 🚀

From early on, I dreamed of exploring the world, hopping between countries, and soaking up new cultures. So, at 24, I took a leap of faith and packed my bags for Buenos Aires, Argentina. And let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride!

In Buenos Aires, I kicked off my tech career with Thomson Reuters Corporation, where I provided technical support for their fintech products. That’s when I got hooked on the fascinating world of fintech. After a couple of years, I leveled up and joined Teradata , a big player in database analytics and big data.

Fast Forward to Madrid 🇪🇸

Always on the lookout for new adventures, I decided to switch gears and made my way to Madrid, Spain, where I’m currently based. Today, I’m at Palo Alto Networks. as a Designated Support Engineer for the EMEA region. My job? I collaborate closely with customers to secure their public cloud environments, using Prisma Cloud! 😶‍🌫️

So, that’s me in a nutshell! I’m all about embracing new challenges and never settling down.
