ABOUT ME

@santiagoborja

Hi, I'm Santiago

I'm an Airline pilot by day, Software engineer by night and photographer in between. I like mountain climbing and electronics as a hobby.

My journey starts in Quito, Ecuador, where I studied and graduated as a Software systems Engineer. I was awarded best graduate student, class of 2009.

That same year I begun my pilot training, a dream I had been planning around for a while.

Years later, while flying the Boeing 767 I discovered photography as a passionate hobby that quickly became much more. On 2017 I published my first Hard cover photographic book with teNeues in Germany.

The journey continues flying around the world, exploring new places. Fly with me on my instagram @santiagoborja
