DEVELOPER

Also known as Maca (much easier to pronounce, it’s also my middle name’s nickname). At the age of 5 I got my first computer. It was a real privilege, a gift from and aunt, since my family couldn't afford one. It was one of the first personal computers in my town, so given the context I felt the need of making the most of it. Ever since then, I got interested in customizing websites with HTML, then, in making my own software to make my life easier, however, I didn’t had the tools to do so. When the time to choose a career came, I certainly choose IT.

 

I went to Universidad del Bío-Bío in Chillán, Chile, and graduate as a Civil Engineer in IT (in the female form of engineer in spanish, yay!). Three months later I found Thoughtworks, which values were my own. I got hired and went to Pune, India thanks to Thoughtworks University program and ever since then I’ve learned so much, and haven’t stopped.

 

My interests as a developer are mainly mobile and augmented reality. I’m still investigating what I want in my career, since XD or UX seem very appealing to me. One of my biggest passions is to fight for climate change, animal rights and gender justice. I’m a person with strong ideals, and I strive to make the best version of myself and give the best to this company and my wonderful coworkers.

 

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
