  1. Time for Growth The journey towards growing a tech career

    in both personal & professional contexts
  2. Story time • I started to learn about computers when

    I was 10 years old • I enjoyed to download and install software in my computer just for fun. I had 2 CD towers full of "legal" software • I wanted to learn how to create software when I was 12 years old • Ended creating a Linux distro when I was 15 years old
  3. But why? What was the purpose of spend time learning

    things I did't understood at first?
  4. • Contribute to OSS • Join/create a meetup • Start

    an small project around something you find interesting • firsttimersonly.com
  5. Story time • Spent 3 years contributing to Mozilla on

    many areas • The main focus was to learn as much as I could • My first experience with a startup
  6. • Don't be afraid to fail • Read other people

    code • Ask, ask, ask, ask and yeah... ask. • Enjoy the journey
  7. • I am a mediocre developer • I google the

    simplest things all of the time • I do not trust myself • Why am I here in first place?
  8. Don't try to do your best, give everything and more

    to what you do Thanks Julian Duque "
