# Samuel Poveda-Restrepo > Software Developer Location: Lexington, Kentucky, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/samuelpovedarestrepo I'm a software developer always seeking for new tech to learn. I'm a lifelong learner, fluent in both English and Spanish, who loves the sometimes-hair-pulling process of development. I've always loved the idea of making software, and once I began, there was no stopping. I found myself quickly submerged in the world of development. I'm always looking for new concepts to understand and apply, specially in the back end.
