2025: The year I said yes to public speaking

Dec 29, 2025

A year of growth

2025 has been a remarkable year for me.

I started the year with a clear goal: to speak at conferences. I ended up traveling to 10 cities across 7 countries, recording 3 courses for Platzi, giving workshops and talks at conferences, meeting incredible people, and living stories that will stay with me forever.

It all started with a "yes"

Everything began when I said "yes" to an invitation to CaribeConf in Barranquilla. That talk opened a door I didn't know existed and created the first connection with the brand that would later take me across multiple countries.

Cities that took my breath away

I visited cities that left me breathless—some because of their beauty and people, others quite literally (hello, Tunja! 😅). Meetups, incredible connections, memorable moments, delicious food, and beautiful landscapes became part of my journey.

Recognition at Globant

I gave several talks at Globant about new technologies and AI, which led to being awarded for the second consecutive year—this time as AI Hero. (And I didn't break the award, at least not yet).

Full circle moment

The most beautiful part was closing the year in San Cristóbal, the city where I grew up. Sharing with those who know my story from the beginning. A true full circle moment 💙

Looking ahead to 2026

This 2026 starts differently. I'm no longer afraid to dream big.

Did we meet in any of these cities? Let me know!
