About me
My journey into the world of technology was profoundly influenced by the towering presence of the Salesforce Tower in my hometown of Richmond. Gazing across the SF Bay, I couldn't help but marvel at its symbolic significance and the tech industry's impact on our economy, especially here in the bay area. This awe-inspiring structure ignited my curiosity, prompting me to explore technology's dynamic and ever-evolving realm.
Shaping my career, I aim to bring diverse perspectives to an industry lacking Latinx representation. The tech boom, driving innovation but raising Bay Area prices, impacts non-tech workers. Recognizing technology's broader community impact fuels my commitment to inclusivity.
