Hello everyone - I'm Herberth Urena, from beautiful Costa Rica! 👋
I’m actively working toward becoming a technical leader— going through it by trying things out: AI workflows, different stacks, and reading white papers, all while keeping my foundations solid. I like taking a pragmatic, agile mindset: try it, fail fast, learn from it, keep what works, adjust as necessary, repeat.
Beyond engineering, I’m a father and a lifelong learner— always approaching something new with curiosity and open-mindedness, whether at work or with my family.
