🇬🇧 Most productivity problems aren’t technical. They’re personal.
In this video, I share a simple but uncomfortable truth about productivity: most blocks aren’t technical — they’re personal. We often think we’re stuck because of complex features, decisions, or work pressure. But many times, the real issue is unresolved personal weight running in the background — guilt, unfinished conversations, or things we haven’t healed yet. When I stopped carrying that “backup” in my life and made peace where it mattered, my mind became clearer, my sleep improved, and my work got better. This is not a quick hack. It’s a process. But lightening that mental backpack is one of the most powerful productivity decisions you can make.
🇬🇧 Sometimes the problem isn’t the risk — it’s how we react to it.
In this video, I share a personal experience while riding my horse and how it taught me about the nature of risk and our reactions to it. My instructor, Fernando, reminded me that the horse was calm, and it was my own worry that created the tension. This situation parallels many challenges we face in life and work, where we often avoid difficult conversations or decisions, allowing problems to grow. I urge you to confront these challenges directly and take calm, deliberate action instead of succumbing to panic and avoidance. Remember, many issues can be resolved if we address them head-on.

🇪🇸 Análisis de fallecimientos en Perú: Patrones temporales y geográficos entre 2019 y 2024
En este video, analizo los fallecimientos registrados en el Perú entre 2019 y 2024, destacando que el año 2021 fue el más crítico, concentrando el mayor número de registros, especialmente en Lima. Utilizo datos abiertos del CINADEF para mostrar patrones temporales y geográficos, evidenciando que Lima tiene una concentración significativa de fallecimientos. También presento un gráfico de estacionalidad que ilustra picos en los meses críticos y una estabilización posterior. Mi objetivo es comunicar estos hallazgos de manera clara y responsable. No se solicita ninguna acción específica, pero espero que esta información sea útil para entender la situación.
🇬🇧 Federated Search at Enterprise Scale
In this video, I share my experience tackling the complexities of a federated search system within a large enterprise platform that serves over 100 million users across 50 websites. The challenge was not just to build features but to deeply understand the existing architecture, which involved revisiting the fundamentals of Apache Lucene, Solr, and Fusion. I reverse-engineered the platform, documented my findings, and designed a federated architecture that scales to 150 sites while reducing human bottlenecks. This ongoing project empowers Drupal admins to control federation logic without direct interaction with the search platform, ultimately saving costs. I encourage you to consider the importance of clarity in system design as we move forward.
🇬🇧 What Messi Can Teach You About Software Development Success
In this video, I draw parallels between Lionel Messi’s approach to soccer and our software development practices. Just like Messi sees the entire field and prepares for the game, I emphasize the importance of reviewing our backlog and understanding tickets before the sprint starts. I encourage you to take ownership during sprint meetings and be proactive in tackling challenges, even if it means passing the ball to a teammate when necessary. Additionally, I urge you to document your victories and share them through a Loom video and email to highlight your contributions. Let’s aim to be top players in our field!
