Hello! I’m Luz, a 30 years old human from Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America.

This website

It started with professional purposes but around September 2023 I started to expand it and has now become my little corner on the internet where I publish pictures, thoughts, rants, projects, what I’m reading, what I like, etc. And more in the future, probably. I like to think of it more as a digital garden instead of a static website where I just publish posts and nothing else. Even this section will be updated many more times in the future, until I get bored for a while and then come back at it again. My interests change, as do the interests of many people.

Writing

Although I’ve enjoyed writing since I was a teenager, it has always been in a private journal. In physical notebooks, notes on my cellphone, a WhatsApp conversation with myself, Google Docs, etc. Lately, I became motivated enough from reading some articles out there among other personal things to write and publish more. It helps me. In many ways. Such as understanding better the things I write about, reflecting, gathering my thoughts, improving my english writing skills, etc. And I hope in the future some people will enjoy reading what I write as well.

Sometimes I write posts in my native language (spanish) first and then translate them (with DeepL or Google Translate and manual adjustments afterwards, not going to lie here). Some other times I write english first. Just a disclaimer in case that you find any “weird” sounding sentence that it may be because it was probably written spanish first.

What I do

I studied Biology in Buenos Aires University (UBA) from 2011 to 2019, when I graduated. Then did a career switch to web developing in 2019, which is my current full-time job. I started studying software engineering in August 2023.

Interests

• Reading: Non-fiction essays about modern stuff, history, classics, science fiction, fantasy, etc. Would love to read more horror/suspense. But I love reading anything. Been browsing lots of blogs and personal webpages in the last few months.
• Hiking, although I live ~500km from the nearest interesting hiking spot it is something I love every time I have the opportunity to get close to the Andes mountains or the Córdoba Sierras (mountains of a lower altitude).
• Running. Long distance-ish. Although I come and go, I really enjoy when I can go beyond 8km. Most I’ve ran is 13km. Always with music on.
• Videogames: Fallout New Vegas, Age of Empires, Kerbal Space Program and Hollow Knight are some games I’ve loved the most. I keep a Backloggd too.
• Cooking and baking
• Driving (no matter where, but not in the city though)
• Electronic music in general (techno, progressive house, melodic techno), 80s classics, EDM, progressive rock, alternative, and others. Can’t have enough playlists.
• Plants. Although I live in an apartment, I care for many plants and would love to have a garden some day to grow my own food and flowers.
