Moving to Monterrey

Posted by Felipe Arturo López Bonilla on

I haven't post in almost two years because I moved to a new city. The city is Monterrey, which is located at the north of Mexico. This is going to be a brief post about my new experience in this city.

The reason I moved to a new city

I moved to Monterrey in July 2021 because I got a new job offer as an embedded software developer for the automotive industry. The pandemic was still going on so I doubt a little bit at the beginning, but then I came aware that this was a huge opportunity for me since I'll be software developer, and I will be working with new methodologies and tools. But most important that I'll put in practice my coding skills in C, which later I realized that I still have a lot to learn about programming, since it had been a long time that I haven't implemented code for big projects.

A new beginning for me

I came here when I was close to turn 28 years old. It has been a complete different experience because it is the first time that I'm living on my own and with that have came certain challanges. Now, the downside has been the weather conditions of the city since during spring, summer and autumn it is very hot. Even last year the whole state experienced a sever drought, which make it hard to deal with when doing the daily activities. Although I haven't like it here that much, still I'm glad that I'm having this opportunity and that the company where I worked for has grown, and even I've been promoted. So there have been possitive and negative aspects in this new journey.

Upcoming projects

Although I have worked in some projects during my free time, for various reasons I didn't have the chance to post them here. Now that I have everything settle down, I'll start posting updates more frequently on projects that currently I'm working on, or that I had done.
