About

Ale Bogado is a software developer, blogger, and creative artist with over 6 years of experience. In addition, he has also provided application development courses for junior developers.

He is currently founding a company, HAPKI Studio, dedicated to creating exclusive gadgets for creative individuals (architects, musicians, designers, etc.) based on exclusivity and polished design.

He also actively works at Personal Pay, an Argentine fintech company, where he is a Senior Frontend Developer and FrontOps Leader.

I think what I use the most are the Audio-Technica headphones to listen to music with superior quality and further concentrate on my daily tasks. I also value network security a lot, which is why I frequently use YubiKeys and security keys.
