Maria in Tech

Here to share experiments, lessons, and a laugh!
Who am I? An unsupervised kid in an adult body always learning something new, and wanting to share with others to learn too!

I'm a programmer turned Software Engineering Leader. I've been teaching or mentoring since I was 12. I've started a few startups and failed miserably! I was lucky enough to work for 2 scaleups who became unicorns - their single similarity is that... I worked there? I put it in my CV anyway 😂. 

Got interested in improv, callisthenics, swing dancing, sourdough bread baking, gardening (but I'm a serial plant killer really), and I'm into solo traveling. Oh, and I'm currenting doing a memoir writing course, which is... sometimes painful and sometimes relieving.  A great addition to psychotherapy! 

Starting this channel to document my transition from working 9-6 to working on my own terms (is it ever gonna be my own terms though?). Expect to see all things tech & leadership (+ everything else I'm interested in)! x
