Talk the Talk and Grok the Grok
Jefte is a lifelong learner who is deeply invested in art and technology, with a voracious appetite for knowledge and problem-solving. He is self-taught. He reads the manual. He deep dives into topics that pique interest or provide a challenge; to him, a challenge is simply an exercise in seeking knowledge. He revels in taking something apart and examining its parts. To grok something fully is his pursuit.
The Origin of the Human Search Engine
This self-proclaimed nerd was born in Santander, Spain, and speaks both English and Spanish. Some of his earliest memories include reading the encyclopedia, doodling graphics in MacPaint, and attending Computer Club in Fourth grade. While the other children spent their free time at the end of every Computer Club meeting playing computer games, he could be found in the corner staring at hundreds of lines of code and altering the game’s musical tones.
He spends most of his free time designing user interfaces for apps and websites or playing video games. Besides UI design, he enjoys other hobbies like building and flying RC airplanes and drones, 3D printing, customizing keyboards, and some light gardening.
Much to the chagrin of his colleagues, he often starts sentences containing pointless trivia with “Did you know…?” as they rightfully feign interest. His favorite Star Trek captain is Picard, and there are four lights.
