ANGELIK

Hola mi gente,
I'm really grateful you took the time to navigate this site that I have created with love. The intention is to show all of my work as a developer, spokesperson, filmmaker, and photographer. I do what I do because I seek to reach the Great Perhaps. It was something I read when I was little and it stuck with me. Through my journey of ups and downs, I have learned three things I would like to share with you:

Failure is uncomfortable but it shouldn't stop you from moving forward.

It is okay to mourn the time lost; it is normal. However, realize that you have gained a lot of skills along the way because of this.

Everything is an opportunity. You’re just not looking close enough.

Some people have the blessing of having a privileged life. That luck doesn’t fall in everybody’s lap. That’s how I learned that opportunity isn’t something you wait for but something you have to create yourself.

Live in the present.

This is something I fight against to this date. I focus so much on the future that I forget to enjoy the present and be appreciative.

En general, gracias otra vez y espero que esto les sirva para algo.

Facts about Me

The useful and the unique ones

I won a national championship of chess in Puerto Rico.

My dad loves chess and when I was little he taught me everything he knew about it and took me to multiple competitions even though the minimum age for entry was 10 years old. I was nine when I won!

I want to learn five languages over the span of my lifetime.

I am currently fluent in three languages: Spanish, English and French. But I am working on expanding my knowledge with Japanese, German and ASL.

I am a student of film.

This passion began when I was young so I self-taught by watching videos, reading, and studying movies.

Always inventing new prototypes.

I spent a lot of my time after school building wearable devices to help with health conditions like diabetes, colorblidness, or stress to help my family and community back home.

I collect vinyls to discover new artists.

Always been a fan of discovering new artists on Spotify but recently I find it nerveracking picking up a vinyl and not knowing I would like it or not.

I collect Kodachrome film from my trips.

This is a new thing I have discovered and I find it really enjoyable. Whenever I travel I like to visit a vintage store and pick out a few Kodachrome films shot by strangers that lived there. That way I get a little glimpse of another life lived by other humans.
