Welcome to RuymanBorges.com
This post is simply intended to welcome you to my new website. I decided to keep it minimal because I believe that less is more. Élite Empresarial began with the goal of being a Swiss Army knife for entrepreneurs, but I think that kind of toolkit is personal—every project requires its own specialization.
In this new phase of my site, I want to focus on sharing information about my projects and offering opportunities for anyone who wants to get involved.
What Am I Currently Doing on RuymanBorges.com and Other Projects?
I personally handle the marketing for my most important clients—those I’ve been working with for several years (and who have been working with me). They need someone who knows their niche, their project, and their way of thinking, and who can adapt evolving marketing tools to their objectives. In their few attempts with “big companies” or “would-be gurus,” they ended up with undeserved setbacks and asked me to resume that activity. I’m happy to help, although it does occupy large chunks of my schedule and limits my ability to start or create more of my own projects.
Well, I realize I began at the end—like writing you a summary before the story. Let me correct that:
A Bit of History About Me
This is probably my seventh or eighth blog. I began writing “publicly”—subjectively, about my thoughts and experiences—around 2006 (though I had been jotting down ideas since around 1992 and started a thematic blog in 2005).
My Introduction to Digitalization
I consider myself a digital traveler more than an entrepreneur. I’ve been tinkering with any gadget containing circuits since I was three or four years old, and by age eight I was writing BASIC code on an Amstrad CPC with 64 KB of memory. Back then we still used cassettes instead of floppy disks, and I didn’t encounter a computer mouse until about three years later. I don’t know who bought the first joystick in Tenerife, but I vividly remember visiting nine or ten computer stores before one finally showed us a square device with a vertical stick and a red circular button—like we were crazy in 1989.
My Early Advanced Steps in ICT
In short, technology and I go way back. I’ve always had my nose in computer magazines and programming books. In 1998, I enrolled in a computer science degree at university but got so bored that I decided I’d learn on my own—at my own pace (which turned out to be faster than their five-year program). Fortunately, the internet, technology, information, and social attitudes about what it means to “know” have all evolved since then.
A Small Detour (That Isn’t One)
Well… yes, I did return to university ten years later—after a few adventures, courses, programming languages, and projects under my belt—but not for computer science. Instead, I pursued another passion: physics. The other books I read were on physics, chemistry, astrophysics, and related topics, so I went back purely out of curiosity and to delve into that world through formal education. I nearly completed the degree—had I decided to commit to nuclear physics—but… no thanks. I’m not a “lab rat.” I prefer an open, ever-changing world full of challenges, not a single-focus path for life. I hope my former classmates and fellow scientists aren’t offended—they have my utmost respect. I’m just a curious soul.
Wrapping Up the Intro
I needed to correct my backward introduction to this first post. Now that we’ve made proper introductions, I hope reading this and my other entries makes more sense and helps you understand why I pursue these projects and what may drive me in the future.
On my homepage, you’ll find links to my own projects and to my professional social networks. Because this blog is exactly that: professional. I want to share my digital adventures, my interests, and why I make one decision or another in these increasingly dynamic times.
And with that, I’ll sign off this entry. I was going to make it longer, but I realized it’s better to share the rest in my next post.
I was going to ask you to subscribe and all that, but I really don’t have a newsletter here—yet! Stay tuned if you want updates on my new posts. For now, they’ll appear here and on the respective blogs of my projects, but I may launch a Vlog in the future.
Oh, almost forgot: I’ve decided to title the blog “From Bit to QBit with Artificial Intelligence.” I think it’s self-explanatory, but you’ll see what I mean in time.
Live long, and prosper!
