Jose Vega was born and raised four blocks from the beach on Puerto Rico's beautiful north coast but has spent half his life in the continental United States. Most of his 28 years of software development experience were focused on the Retail Industry, consulting for clients such as Home Depot, Ulta Cosmetics, Gap, Pep Boys, and Luxottica. Although he wore many hats during those years, from Developer and technical Trainer to VP of Engineering, his unofficial title was "El Curandero" (The Healer) due to his knack for finding solutions for his clients.

He's always been passionate about teaching and found ways to do so in his professional career while traveling the world. Jose retired from the software development industry in 2019 and decided to focus his energy on sharing his experiences to help address the digital literacy divide, especially in the adult Spanish-speaking community. He has been teaching Basic to Advanced Digital Literacy, Office365, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and Google Workspace applications like Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail in English and Spanish, onsite and remotely.
