In this article, we want to introduce Andres Vaca Melo, our QA Analyst. When Andres joined our agency as a Supporter in March 2021, we asked him a few questions to get to know him a little better.
This is Andres Vaca Melo
Andres lives in Quito, Ecuador.
How would you describe yourself?
I would describe myself as a very curious and active person, who always wants to learn new things. I’ve always said that the best part of the journey is the surprise and wonder along the way.
I love traveling and the chance it gives you – to meet people all over the world by getting to know different cultures. One of the best experiences in my life was my time in Canada, where I lived and studied for 5 years and fell in love with the country, culture, and people!
I am a big fan of football and all the passion it involves and I am a big fan of FC Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund. I have a clear memory of the first time my dad took me to the stadium at the age of 4 and the national team of Ecuador was winning 2-0 against Venezuela. I also played actively, the best memories of my childhood happened on a field.
How do you spend your spare time?
Preferably by spending time with my family and friends. I am an expert in Barbecue Sunday :-).
I also enjoy going for a hike, I am blessed to be from a country with exceptional landscapes to find pleasure in. I highly recommend the highland region in Ecuador and renting a bike or horse for a trip for visitors. And of course, I love to play football.
Andre’s way to Syde
I am an Electrical Engineer and have worked on some microelectronics projects. I would love to gain more experience in the programming field.
I was captivated by the environment they provide. I knew a little about Syde from using the BackWPup plugin on my cousin’s website before applying. I was surprised by all the quality work Syde offers.
I am looking forward to learning from all the people that work at Syde. I also want to grow both, professionally and personally to become an asset for Syde.
