Most of the blog is written in unbearable Spanglish.
Hi! I'm Mario López, [[✍️ Acho. Qué has estado haciendo estos últimos tres años. (2015)|PhD in Telecom]] -> software engineer @ Data. [[My Engineering Manager principles, values, and practices|Engineering Manager "this way"]], [[Working in Data]], ex-[[Nextail]], ex-[[Mercadona Tech]], ex-[[Unlimiteck]]. A better professional introduction is at my [[CV - Mario López Martínez|CV]].
I'm from Cartagena, and I'm interested in: [[✍️ Sin machirulos hay paraiso. Una charla heterofriendly sobre management|🏳️🌈 men]], [[🦜 No matter how it looks at first, it's always a people problem]] and other [[Human affairs]], [[Writing is thinking]], no-slot-machine videogames, USA competition [[📖 True Story. What Reality TV Says About Us|reality shows]] , and [[Fitness|bulking up]] to the point of being a certified PT. These may change (except unfortunately being from Cartagena).

> [!NOTE] Shitty format in some notes
> Much of this graph has been imported from Roam Research, and since nobody agrees on Markdown standards, some notes may have a weird format. I will gradually take care of this digital garden 🙏
