Hey y’all,

Juan here. (Or Juampi, Juan Pablo, John, flaco, numbnuts, or whatever you feel like calling me.) This is my website.

I was born in San Juan, Argentina on November 6th, 1990.

My parents worked as academics and engineers. My father worked as an electrical engineer and taught physics at the local National University of San Juan. My mother was one of the first female software engineers in San Juan, and also went on to teach computer science at the same university.

In 1995, just before my sixth birthday, my father accepted a job in Boston, Massachusetts for a Japanese company that manufactured floppy disks. Our family immigrated to the United States that year and we began new lives as Americans, first in Massachusetts, and later in Texas.

I went on to study Political Science and Classics and I received my B.A. from the University of Texas and later my M.A. from the University of Chicago. I’ve spent time living in Argentina, Massachusetts, Texas, Illinois, Spain, Utah, and Ireland.

Currently, I am living in Redwood City, California with my partner.
