My work
Currently doing a PhD and working as a software developer I see a direct connection between my rural and Indigenous Mexican upbringing and the types of technology I want to be a part of co-building.
I am compelled by the ways in which Indigenous and rural knowledge are situated, the local and land-based teachings. It is from the communitarian ways of organising and living that also inspire what I try to live in my professional life. My aims are not of rapid production, but of an organic, slow building of technologies that are more sustainable and accessible by also questioning why a technology should be built or not and for whom and by whom.
