My story
My story
I am a systems engineer and worked for 8 years as a programmer. For the past three years I have dedicated myself fully to my entrepreneurial side, creating training programs designed to help technical professionals scale their salaries between 2x and 10x.
Alongside my tech career, I diversified my projects: I own Real Estate companies collecting rent in the United States, I offer training for people looking to build and monetize their personal brand online, and I have a specialized product for those wanting to enter the world of automations and operations.
As of today, I count more than 200 students with real results and thousands of lives impacted.
I consider myself a lover of personal development, secular spirituality, technology, and the intensity to pursue and achieve any goal in a logical way.
I also work as a speaker: I have created my own events, supported the creation of others, spoken at several of them, and appeared in the press. I am the founder of Apicanta, the training services company that brings all my products together.
My experience as a developer
My experience as a developer
I worked 8 years as a Full Stack Developer, starting at Argentine companies and reaching remote roles for the international market. I publish the real salaries of each stage because they are concrete proof of the path I now teach: scaling your salary is possible and has a method. In some periods I worked for several clients simultaneously as a contractor.
My salary growth as a developer
From $800 to $7,000 a month between 2017 and 2024 — the same path I now teach.
