The long version

Born to Mexican parents in the United States of America, Christian had a multicultural upbringing as a Mexican American, also known as a Chicano. From a young age, he developed a love for problem-solving, and his fascination with computers started in kindergarten. He spent time tinkering with and fixing computers, often breaking them in the process 😅. He found joy in bringing order to disorder.

Before middle school, Christian’s father, a music lover, decided to start a side hustle DJ business. That’s when Christian’s digital skills came into play. He sourced music from Limewire, organized it, burned it onto CDs, and even created custom sticker labels. To his surprise, his father revealed that Christian was going to be the DJ. Thrown into the fire, it wouldn't be the last time. Unfortunately, his career as a DJ was brief—cut short by his father’s incarceration.

A few years later, a one-of-a-kind Christmas gift became the catalyst for his passion for music: an iPod Nano, a gift from a charity supporting children of incarcerated parents. This sparked a lifelong passion. He dove deep into the world of music and has never looked back, becoming a devoted music fanatic.

Fast forward to his college years at the University of California, San Diego, where Christian discovered Computer Science. His passion for software and strength in mathematics made it a perfect fit. During his studies, he was introduced to Human-Computer Interaction and fell in love with the idea of designing intuitive experiences.

After graduating, Christian spent the next eight years working across various industries, including educational technology, data analytics, solar energy, robotics, and artificial intelligence. He focused on building user-facing web interfaces, also known as front-end engineering. During this time, his love for music continued to thrive—he attended concerts, festivals, and nightlife events, constantly surrounding himself with music.

Midway through his career, Christian began merging his passions: order, tech, and music. That's how TRAPNSTUDIO was born. For him, TRAPNSTUDIO is a creative studio where he helps others do things with technology in an efficient way, all while vibing out to music. As both a scientist and a creative, Christian looks up to figures like Leonardo da Vinci, aspiring to embody the spirit of a Vitruvian man.
