Hello!
I'm Laura López, a telecommunications Engineer, turned into a data scientist, I write a blog called "Al mal tiempo, buena data" and photography lover. I'm from Medellín, Colombia.

I started my tech career as a Test Engineering Analyst for a telecommunications company and then I turned into a data scientist which is what I love to do.

The process was difficult but I really enjoyed it and I could not have done it without the help of communities in my city that support women in technology. This is why I want to talk a little about them.

So here goes.
