👋 Hello!
I'm Crysfel Villa
An Engineering Manager, software engineer, and lifelong builder. I love turning ideas into products, helping teams do their best work, and finding creative ways to solve meaningful problems.
When I'm not building digital products, you'll probably find me climbing mountains, playing soccer, working on a woodworking project or playing Age of Empires. I love learning new things, tackling new challenges, and bringing ideas to life, whether that's on a screen or in my garage.
Invest in yourself
Get my books!
Want to level up your skills as a Software Engineer? Since the start of my career I've shared what I've learned through my blog, YouTube, and the books I've published.
I'm currently writing a book about investing from Latin America. The goal is to help you get started with investing safely so you can improve your financial situation.

Why me?
These are my values
01 Growth
The world around us changes every day. We need to keep learning to grow as people, and learning new things is a lot of fun!
02 Commitment
Everything in life takes time. There is no way to get good at something overnight; it takes commitment to practice and improve. Don't give up!
03 Wealth
Having plenty of resources gives you freedom, and it also lets you help other people in a better way. Being rich isn't about having a lot of money, it's about having time.
04 Risk
We all take risks in our lives. Learning to manage risk properly will help you achieve incredible things.
