What I’m doing now

Here you’ll find all the things I’m focused on at this point in my life (aka WTF is Paulina up to).

(Check out the now page movement by Derek Sivers if you want to find out more about this.)

Location

I moved recently to Marbella, on the south of Spain, from Thailand. It's been a huge change passing from a five thousand 21km. island to a city where you can't get walk anywhere and the closest place takes at least a 10 min. car ride.

But this being the sunniest spot in Europe, with an abundance of tasty, healthy and cheap food, so I can't complain.

Work

I work as a freelance consultant, project manager, and implementator, helping businesses grow through strategy, automation, and awesome execution.

I've been trying to pass from a freelancer to a proper company, which I have found challenging.

Recent Projects

• Project management, business analysis, and implementation: Working with an Australian software and marketing agency, primarily managing projects and implementing tech solutions for their Safety & Field Management software client. I help clients in mining and construction optimize their workflows.
• Implementing a compliance and risk management system in the Microsoft environment for a Chilean construction company.
• Marketing automation implementation: for a Spanish psychological coach.
• eCommerce growth: Supporting an Australian eCommerce brand that sells painting accessories with email marketing, automation, and content strategy.
• Website Creation & Revamps: Recently designed, updated, and optimized WordPress websites for:
  • A freediving company in Koh Tao, Thailand
  • A wellness coach
  • A Chilean author

Tech I've Been Playing Around With

• Google AI Studio: I "vibe-coded" this app to get professional photoshoot images from any furniture image. Made it to help my in-laws get photos they can use to sell their restored pieces.
• Strudel: this is an OS web-based platform to write music with code. It' amazing! You should give it a try it if you like producing electronic music. It's super fun and easy to start with, mostly because has one of the best getting started tutorials I've seen.

Content I’ve Enjoyed Lately

Reading

• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
• Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller: a must for every (wannabe) business person.
• Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey: I'm listening to the audiobook narrated by Matt himself and it's so entertaining.
• Dracula: A Love Tale by Luc Besson. I love romantic goth movies and I love this director's work, so I enjoyed it a lot (as expected)

Watching

• Strangers on a Train from Hitchcock: the story is amusing, but there was nothing special about it.
• The Last of Us Season 2
• The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare film by Guy Ritchie.
• Dungeon Soup (short animations)
