About ME

Who is Oscar Rojas?

Technology is a word that describes something that doesn’t work yet.

Young entrepreneur, leader, developer, engineer, tecky, human, husband and father of one dog, everything could fit as the best description for myself, the fact is I have been working and taking part of the new technology Era for the last 5+ years. My share on this revolutionary and technological world is to have a motivational leadership with an open and direct management and communication style. Experience in building, managing, and retaining technology teams from scratch to medium groups plus positioned in Latin America.


Finally, I’m also trying to contribute a grain of sand as entrepreneur creating my own company called Vlabs, which provides IT services in Mexico and USA.

My INTERESTS

Software Architecture

The architecture is the primary carrier of system qualities such as performance, modifiability, and security, none of which can be achieved without a unifying architectural vision.

Software Development

Software development means go beyond any programming skills, is thinking out the box, one boss told me once 'If you don't leave your mark wherever you go, your are doing it wrong'

User Experience

UX doesn't make the thing work. Instead, UX makes you love the way that it works: what it looks like, how it feels, how to use it, how it's organized, etc.

Travelling

Who doesn't like to travel? The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
