"Due this pandemic situation I was laid off from my previous job on April 2019, thus I have started to work for Amazon Colombia as a Virtual Customer Service Representative since September 2019.

It has been a good time working on it, however I would like to keep growing in terms of my profession as an Engineer and looking for new experiences."
