About Jocelyn

Nice to meet you everyone! I’m a sophomore studying robotics and digital systems. I love to teach and learn new things from others, usually networking always occurs at hackathons (lmk if you want to team up). I’ve also had like 2 internships with local mexican companies. Then I became an MLH Fellow and started contributing to open source. I then got a formal internship at Insulet and been working remotely as a Cloud Developer since. I’m now an MLH Coach, love to assist and participate in hackathons as well as to stream tech content. I enjoy random projects at midnight and always love collaboration with a multiskilled team.

🌍 I'm based in Mexico
✨ Creating bugs since 2012
đź“š I'm currently learning about Cybersecurity, Cloud, ROS and Autonomous systems
⚡ I enjoy robotics as a sport!
🎯 Love to research about Brain Computer Interfaces
🎲 Fun fact: I like salsa dancing and the octocat plushie
