**Myself Intro**
# Hello, world! Again. :grinning:
So this is my first time *tryin* to intendedly program **something**, even if somehow i understand that each time you take decisions, you are actually programming.
Its nice to be able to show a little more of me and my motivations through this and also learn something new. So, Here i go:
## My Name is Walter Alvarado.
I have born 34 years ago, in the small city of San Salvador in Central America, a beutiful piece of land with lovely peopleÑ
But also (and sadly), lots of bad people, hence lots of migrants and refugees around the globe, since many generations ago.
In El Salvador, we are a genetic mixture of mostly Mayan and Aztec descendants with Spanish (mostly Canarians and Andaluces) and even
some African heritage. This is our place in the map of America:

Yes! that super small blue dot in the center of the map, thats where i came from. This are some of the best things overthere:
:wink:
*The Beach! you have many kilometers of beautiful blacksanded volcanic beaches
*The Food, very vegan friendly, withs lots of corn, sweets or salty dishes
*The friendly people, even if sometimes it seems like been in extintion path
*the sunny warm weather, even when it rains.
*Did i mention **The Beach!** before?
But there´s also, lots of problems :pensive: like:
-Poverty
-Gangs
-Corruption at all levels like:
-Government
-Public workers
-The Police itself
-Insane levels of violence
-murders
-kidnappings
-severe tortures (ok i will stop here, before it turns into a ~~Death Metal~~ song)
Nevertheless we are accustomed to live like that.
### My Previous Life
I have loved computers all of my life, since a kid, playing with little super basics calculators before playing with Nintendo consoles.
One of my cousins have an old computer, one of those MSDos machines with floppy disk drive, 'God, i love that "Banner Mania" Software'

Some video consoles later i aquaired my very first PC 'thanks so much to my beloved parents', a beautiful:
1. ATX tower sporting an impresive Pentium 4
2. Windows XP
3. A massive CRT monitor
Thus i started learning, to install programs, and learn a little about OS, hardware, etc. Later, i have started my career as Graphic Designer,
but in the poor countries even in the aerlies 2000s you learn mostly hand craft techniques, not all the software oriented like today.
Years Later i start tattooing, and became quite popular in my country, here you can check some of my works: <https://www.virgintattoostudio.com/yova-alvarado.html>
Many years later i have the urgency to search shelter in Europe, maybe sometime we will talk about the reasons, but right now i understand that
its not only me in danger, it's the whole world, sadly :pensive:. But we will overcome.
Just as Max Ehrmann Poem, *Desiderata*
>Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
#### Things i expect to find if i'm selected
Personal | Technical

Friends | New skills
An stable job | Remote Working
Inspiration | Other languages
Fun | Basis for building my own company
