I'm a Software Engineer, from Portugal, a GitHub Star and a mentor at Black CodHer Bootcamp and "As Raparigas de Codigo" organization. Previously, I've been an admin at AnitaB.org Open Source.
It is interesting how people can end up doing the same things in opposite directions :P I started taking on opportunities to do talks because I wanted to spread the word on what I learned about Open Source and then I realized that talks are seen by a specific audience that can physically or virtually attend your talk... You have a much wider audience out there that can find your blog posts. So it seems a great and practical thing to do, to turn talks into blog posts :)
I’m a full stack developer who has experience with several front-end tools like Reactjs, Vuejs, and jQuery as well as some back-end tools like PHP, Laravel, Node, and Express.

It’s definitely something I want to get into. I just don’t know how and there aren’t really meetups in my area.
