I am a software engineer and Wikipedian from Guayaquil, Ecuador. I'm passionate about free knowledge, LGBT history and Latin American literature. I'm a Fulbright scholar and got my master's degree in Computer Science at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I've been a Wikipedian since 2008, when I was about 13 years old and have been passionate about the project ever since. Besides Wikipedia, I also contribute to Commons, Wikidata and Wikisource.

How did the Spanish LGBT Wikiproject go from 5 to 750 new articles per year?
LuisCG11, Freddy Veloz

Over the years the content on Wikipedia in Spanish related to LGBT+ issues has increased explosively due to the work methodologies and engagement, which have emerged through the Wikiproject:LGBT, of members of the Wikimedia community as well as new users. But what have these methodologies been applied through this wikiproject, and what results have been obtained from this way of coordinating the work?
