LIFE & NOTESJournal
Photos, memories, and a little about my life.
PERSONAL ARCHIVE · 2 PHOTOSThe infamous profile picture
This is my infamous profile picture. I took this randomly in the bathroom of an Amazon building in late 2024 and it somehow became the default picture I use everywhere online. These days I have much shorter hair as seen in the second photo which is more recent (Sep 2026).
FAMILY · 5 PHOTOSFamily.
I love my family and don’t know what I would do without them. My parents are a huge inspiration for me. I love being the oldest brother, even though it can mean making a few more sacrifices than the rest. One of my goals in life is to own a home and raise a small family of my own someday.
GROWING UP · 4 PHOTOSGrowing Up.
Band and boxing made up a significant part of my life growing up. I made a lot of friends and memories that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. Although I probably got some brain damage from boxing and partied a little too hard in college, I would do it all over again if I could.
KOREA · 13 PHOTOSKorea.
This was my favorite trip I've ever been on. I loved Korea. I’m not a big K-pop fan, but the clothing and food were my favorite parts. If I could go to Korea every year just to buy clothes, I would do it.
MEXICO · 14 PHOTOSMexico.
For a large part of my early life, I was ashamed of my Mexican heritage because I didn’t see many people who looked like me at school or on TV. As I got older, I fell in love with my roots and the history of my people. I am proud to be a first-generation Mexican American in tech. Mexico is a beautiful country with a rich culture, and I wish I could visit more often.
SEATTLE · 31 PHOTOSSeattle.
I have some gripes with Seattle, but some of my favorite things about the city are its views. Sometimes it’s easy to forget how privileged I am to live in a place like this, and some of these photos remind me to be grateful for my home and community.
