Chip Moreno

My professional career started in mortgage, where I learned about loan origination and the mechanics of lending, credit, and capital.

I graduated from WGU with a B.S. in Computer Science in January of 2025, where I learned about software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and automation.

Before moving permanently to Ecuador, I spent time in New England, Montreal, Boston, Houston, and Peru.

I obtained my Ecuador Professional Visa in October of 2025.
