Google DevFest Montevideo
πŸ“† Nov 2024 | πŸ‘€ 60 people | πŸ“£ Spanish |πŸ“ On-site | 🎀 Speaker
I gave a workshop about how to turn a design or idea into a Flutter UI, from design to code.

I had the opportunity to give a talk in my own country, on which the Flutter knowledge is either professional or completely null, so I wanted to share a set of clear and fundamental concepts for getting started with the Flutter SDK.

The workshop was really active and many attendees asked questions and engaged a lot.

Google DevFest Monterrey
πŸ“† Nov 2024 | πŸ‘€150 people | πŸ“£ Spanish |πŸ“ On-site | 🎀 Speaker
Life brought me all the way to Monterrey, Mexico specifically to the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon, to give a talk to students and early career adults, about how to evolve in an IT field, what did I learn about getting better at my jobs and grow towards greater opportunities.

Not only I was able to interact with the people during my talk, but I got impressed about how many reached me out afterwards and we talked a lot about their career doubts and which opportunities to seek or take. We ended up being a circle of 20 folks asking and everyone sharing advice to others. I can not explain how fulfilling it was.

FlutterConf LATAM Arequipa Peru
πŸ“† Nov 2024 | πŸ‘€ 500 people | πŸ“£ Spanish |πŸ“ On-site | 🎀 Speaker & ✨ Organizer
I participated in FlutterConf LATAM both as an organizer and speaker, which was both a challenging and grateful experience.

I supported the event on the media side; making videos for social media, leaded the communication on our Telegram group for the event and assisted on general organization for on-site dinners and activities during the event.

"Getting in context: Dominate BuildContext in Flutter"

My talk was about how the BuildContext works on Flutter, building it from the most known piece (a widget) and going deep down to the core of the framework, how those widgets are built and what's behind them.
The objective was to showcase good practices on how to handle context throughout the development of an app, and what not to do in order to prevent failures.

Many attendees participated during the talk and they told me they learned a lot from it, which makes me really happy.

The first International Women Day I organized with my team as part of the Women Techmakers Ambassadors group. It was a wonderful experience and I acted both as a co-organizer and as a panelist moderator.

The panel was about women who switched their career and are now working in the IT field. They shared their story, their experiences and how much grateful they are for having made those changes on their life.

Lovely and inspiring experience which enabled us to kickstart our community of women techmakers in Uruguay.

I participated in the Flutter Bootcamp of Codigo Facilito as a teacher of several topics and followed almost the whole course helping out students and assisting on their doubts when the primary teachers were busy.

Amazing experience that made me better at organizing information and creating practical resources for the students.
