Who am i

I’m a senior software engineer, a fierce advocate for diversity in tech, and a doting Corgi mom. I am passionate about speaking, teaching, and mentoring to lead by example and inspire the next generation of software engineers.

I was born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia, and I identify as Peruvian-American. I currently reside in Norfolk, VA, with my two Corgis, Luna and Sueño. I hold a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Hampton University and a Master’s in Computer Science from Cornell Tech.

Experience

I first started learning how to code in 2013 and have been working full-time as a software engineer since June 2017. I've focused on product and growth teams where I’ve honed my skills in React and TypeScript. Collaborating closely with design and product teams, I thrive on building user-focused solutions that make a real impact.

Right now, I’m part of the Lists team at Slack, where we’re making it easier than ever to manage projects and tasks without leaving your favorite work operating system. I love being able to contribute to a product that empowers high-impact teams all around the world.

I previously worked on the Customer Acquisition team at Slack, where one of my projects resulted in over $80 million in pipeline revenue. For co-founding the Fuego ERG for Latinx employees and uplifting other engineers on my team, I have received numerous praises for my cross-functional leadership capabilities and product sense.
