About Me

Software developer specialized in backend, REST APIs, and Go.

Hi, I’m Christian Verdugo

Jack of all trades, master of none, but always eager to understand how things work.


What I Do

I’m a software developer specialized in backend and web development. My experience has focused mainly on designing and building REST APIs, making sure responses are clear, consistent, and standardized.

I regularly work with technologies such as Golang, React, Docker, and Kubernetes, and I keep learning new tools to bring into my work. I try to understand the processes I automate at a deeper level, rather than fully relying on solutions that do everything without understanding what’s happening behind the scenes.


My Story

My interest in technology started when I was very young. I was always curious: I loved exploring anything new that came into my hands, and I would often take it apart just to understand how it worked. I particularly remember trying to set up a Minecraft server on Google Cloud Platform using free credits, following along with a YouTube video, back when I didn’t even know what Linux was.

In high school, I had the opportunity to take an Arduino robotics course taught by Universidad de La Frontera (UFRO) during winter break. That experience was a turning point: seeing the code I wrote translate into actual movements of a robot sparked a genuine interest in applied programming.

After finishing high school, I took a year to figure out what I wanted to study, during which I worked as a mechanic alongside my father-in-law. The following year, I started studying Computer Engineering (Ingeniería Civil en Informática) at Universidad Católica de Temuco. Throughout the program, I had the chance to work across different areas, and robotics was the one I enjoyed the most. As of 2026, I’m currently finishing my degree.
