Born in Queens, Argudo attended Francis Lewis High School in Fresh Meadows. He was a four-year varsity soccer player for the Patriots, finishing his prep career with 13 goals and 20 assists. At club level, he played for Albertson SC under Paul Riley. He also played for New York Ecuador in the NYC Futsal League. Argudo was set to play college soccer at St. John's out of high school, but did not qualify academically.

He has expressed interest in representing either Colombia or Ecuador, saying, "If there is an opportunity, obviously one would accept the possibilities when they arrive."
