THE FUTURE

it is...

diverse!

When we bring our unique experiences to the table, we broaden our horizons and compliment each other!

bold!

Our drive to innovate challenges the status-quo, creating the path for the progress and the innovations of tomorrow!

passionate!

It's our love and hard-work that make the real difference. When we give it our all, we surpass our limitations!

And it is here!

This is what the future looks like!

I'm Javi (Ha-vi, she/he/them pronouns)!

I'm a non-binary, Hispanic, college software engineering student ready to make a difference and shape the future!
During COVID, my Ph.D program in psychology got delayed so I started teaching myself how to program at home. Little did I know that what started as a little hobby helping non-profit and open-source projects would become my new career.

I have a burning passion for helping others surpass their limitations. When someone has confidence in themselves, feels a sense of belonging and believes in the goal, then they'll do their best to succeed. I'd describe myself as a leader with a deep sense of care for my crew. Just like in a garden, plants can't realize their purpose if they can't grow, they need the correct environment and care to develop. So, when my people are growing, we are closer to blooming into beautiful successful flowers.
