Hi, I’m Ibai Fernández (@ibaifernandez), 35 yo Spanish guy living in Ecuador for the last 7 years.

Coming from a quite diverse academic background (communication, audiovisual production, acting, teaching…), I am currently living and working as a marketer as the head of my own digital agency, AGLAYA (https://aglaya.biz). I have also fathered a couple cool entrepeneurships: Andariega (https://andariega.store), which is an artisanal design workshop of paper-related craftmanship and Índika (https://indika.ec), a very special kombucha with much less acetic acid than other kombuchas (and ten times the amount of alcohol).

I’ve grown a bit tired of the marketing industry down here in Ecuador, where digital marketing still seems to be a bit of a futuristic utopy for most of this wonderful country’s citizens, and so, fascinated as I’ve always been about code, coding and coders, I’ve decided to take a crucial step to a career-changing experience by learning to code as much as possible.

Beyond the professional facet of my life, I’d been quite a traveler till I settled down in Ecuador, and have been always interested about creation in many forms which I’ve somehow undertake in, such as writing, acting, music, and filmmaking.

Coding-wise, I’ve been playing around for a few weeks trying to grasp a general understanding of HTML, CSS, and JS in order to gear up with a bit of basic knowledge before committing myself to the real journey ahead, which I’ve decided to undertake working out The Odin Project’s curriculum.

So, basically, I am currently learning the basics of web development (HTML, CSS and JS), although what I’d really forward to learning is how to work with data.

I’m looking to collaborate on every project with imply a challenge to whatever knowledge I’ve already acquired and you can reach me thry my email (info@ibaifernandez.com - website to be developed as I learn more about how to do it on my own), Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram (@ibaifernandezec), LinkedIn (ibai-fernandez) and Discord (ibaifernandez).
