My Background
Hey, my name is Jesus Rafael Burgoa, but you can call me JR. I'm a full-stack software engineer and entrepreneur from Texas.
When im not working on my business or coding, I like to play real-time strategy games, read comics, and live a healthy lifestyle.
I'm a visionary entrepreneur and a skilled developer; I like to build things people want. My journey started in 2017 when I joined the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to purse computer science. I later joined the entrepreneurial path after discovering my passion for helping people with building products that solve their problems.
Something Ive been even more passionate about lately is web3 or crypto tech. I strongly believe web3 has the capcacity to be next Dot Com boom we saw in the 90s. The time is ripe to be early in the crypto space to influence the way we connect and do things online, in this case, with a layer of ownership.
