Hi, I'm Juan Valencia

Tech
& Systems Engineer

I write code and I run operations — two separate crafts, one way of thinking. Currently 70% through my Systems Engineering degree, building software and optimizing processes at Alo Distribution Center.

About

Who I am

I'm Juan Valencia, a Systems Engineering student at 70% of my degree, software developer, and operations senior specialist at Alo Distribution Center.

I work where code meets physical reality — where an algorithm isn't just a function, but a picking route, a sorting rule, a decision made a thousand times a day by people and machines alike. That intersection is where I live.

Information is a difference that makes a difference.

— Gregory Bateson

Not all data matters. Not all processes scale. Not all decisions compound. The skill — whether you're writing software, designing a workflow, or leading a team — is learning to tell the difference.

I'm building toward a career that doesn't choose between technology and operations. I believe the best systems thinkers are the ones who've seen both sides of the screen.
