My Story

My name is Ruperto but most people call me JR. I am proudly born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and I currently live there, in Oakland. For fun, I enjoy running, cycling, swimming, and playing capoeira. My ability to empathize with people and my 16 years of design experience allowed me to work in a wide spectrum of areas, like entertainment, advertising, video games, education, finance, enterprise customer support, and cloud analytics.
