Beyond the code

My story

A résumé is more than a stack. This is where I come from and the events that shaped me before the first job.

Events

Hackathons & events

Coding marathons with my best friends from university. Sleep-deprived, caffeinated and the reason I ended up where I am.

    TeamString Cheese

    My first hackathon. Classmates and best friends from university, one table, and around 35 hours of coding without sleep to ship a working product before the demo.

  2. Team Radix posing with the Programathon robot cut-outs on stage

    TeamRadix

    Back for a second year with best friends and classmates again, under a new team name. Another ~35-hour marathon, this time with a much better idea of how to split the work and when to cut scope.

    P&G IT Hackathon 2018

    by Procter & Gamble

    A hackathon hosted by P&G Costa Rica. It was the first time I heard about the opportunities in their IT organisation, and a couple of years later I joined as an intern.
