Yesman Utera

I have always solved problems for a living.

For over twelve years, I was a journalist and a producer in a convulsed Venezuela. My experience involved writing feature articles and content creation for Media Giants such as CNN International, The BBC, and The Times of London. I would also spend a significant part of my time saving colleague reporters from getting deported or jailed for doing their job here in my country.

The collision with the authoritarian regime in power was inevitable. My job got too dangerous and stressful and by then my daughter Isabella was born.

I am passionate about situations that challenge my intellect and abilities so after spending a couple months dealing with the mental challenge that is changing careers, I decided to follow my long postponed dream to become a web developer. My friend Girish Gupta, a former Reuters reporter, helped me a lot with that transition.

I have exceptional written and communication skills. I am also proficient within Adobe programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator. I pride myself on my ability to carry out thorough research and analysis. My experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and other programming languages have made me an overachiever who is not afraid to face weaknesses and gives his best to accomplish his goals.

Growing up in a humble environment has taught me a lot and it makes me want to participate in developing solutions to make people’s life not only easier but happier. I consider mediocrity humanity’s worst enemy and I try my best to teach my 6-year-old daughter to always give her best and seriously commit to her dreams as I myself try to do. I’m passionate about pop culture, anime, movies, drawing, photography and fashion design (this one because of my lovely wife); so if you would like to have a conversation about any of these topics do not hesitate to send me a Whatsapp message to +58-424-1341721 or an email to yesmanshiva@gmail.com.
