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 supporting and uplifting Latinx professionals in tech (especially Latina software engineers), employee resource groups, and software engineering apprentices.

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 have over seven years of full-time software engineering experience, with a heavy focus on product and web frontend development. I enjoy using React and TypeScript to solve complex UI, accessibility, and design system challenges.

I'm currently on the Slack lists team where I'm creating project management solutions for millions of Slack users. Lists are designed to align organization and collaboration on work happening in Slack. You can use lists to keep track of the tasks you’ve got on the go, stay aligned with your teammates in the flow of your conversations, and save time on your work with less switching between apps.

I previously worked on the Customer Acquisition team, 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.
