Howdy!
I am Gil De Los Santos, web creator and I do WordPress, UI/UX design and server administration.

About me
As a child I was curious and somewhat shy; I enjoyed riding my bike, playing baseball and soccer like any other kid. Then one thing led to another, and my interests evolved. Although school wasn't my thing, I always made the honor roll, so I have no complaints.
As I grew up, I discovered that I had a flair for design and architecture; I really enjoyed creating cities with MicroMachines and building all sorts of things with Lego, K'nex, Tinkertoy or Meccano's.
Eventually, when facing important decisions about my professional future, I was already working as a freelancer creating flyers, posters and websites, so I decided to follow that passion for design. Today I am proud of my professional and personal achievements.
Thanks to the support of my parents, I had the freedom to explore the world in my own way. I lived and grew up in Ciudad Victoria, a small city in northern Mexico, surrounded by happy times and great friends. I later moved to CDMX, but that story deserves its own chapter.
Photography is one of my great hobbies since I was 8 years old, when I started with a Kodak Cameo 35mm camera. Nowadays I collect old cameras and experiment with expired rolls. Another of my passions is traveling, getting to know new cultures, trying different foods, learning languages and discovering new customs.
I have always specialized in WordPress and everything related, with a growing interest in web security and server administration. Currently I combine all my passions working in Grupo Bursátil Mexicano (GBM) as Tech Lead & WordPress Dev (SDEIV/DRI).
Although my career has had unexpected twists and turns, each stage has been valuable and has made me the professional I am today.
Skills
Internet citizen since 1998.
I started in web design and technology at a very young age. At the age of 16 I started exploring Linux, and soon after I discovered HTML, which fueled my passion for digital creation. Soon I started creating my first mockups, learned CSS, and went deeper and deeper into web development.
Gradually, my interests expanded to digital marketing, project management and server administration, working on my own projects and for various clients.
Today I have more than 22 years of experience combining technology, web design, UI/UX and development, creating effective and comprehensive digital solutions.
