First of all, I would like to thank Neeshma Ramakrishnan and Kajal Thapar at Packt Publishing, they are the best editors, they have an incredible amount of patience and without them, there would be nothing even close to a book.

I would also like to thank my colleagues and friends at Grupo Expansion, Lucasian Labs, and Javanes; they have helped me grow in every way imaginable. Thanks for everything!

Last but not the least, thanks to my family for always keeping up with me, cheering me up, believing in me and helping in everything I do, even when it means not seeing me for weeks or months. I truly value your support!
