Breaking things down,
then building them better.

I'm Antonio — a bilingual IT professional and self-taught developer with a thing for how systems work under the hood. By day I keep things running at the service desk. Off the clock I'm studying cybersecurity and writing code.

About

I got into tech the way most self-taught people do — by breaking something and refusing to stop until I understood why. Before IT, I spent nearly a decade as a Certified Court Interpreter in Chicago, navigating high-pressure environments where clarity and accuracy weren't optional. That discipline carried over.

It led to CompTIA certifications, a freelance web dev practice under deltoro.codes, and eventually a service desk role supporting users and systems in corporate environments. Now I'm channeling that same curiosity into cybersecurity and information assurance at Western Governors University.

I believe the best security people are the ones who've sat on both sides — the ones who've built things know how they break. Based in Los Angeles. Bilingual in English and Spanish.
