About Maria

My name is Maria Velasco Campuzano*.

With an Engineering background, I have a passion for software development and the use of technology in everyday life.

Technology can make your life a lot better, or a lot worse. It depends on how you use it. Agility can be a great tool if used properly, but chaos if you really don’t embrace its core principles.

Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.

Christian Luos Lange

The use of data, machine learning, and AI can improve people’s lives, make processes difficult, or become yet another tool to separate people from one another.

New technology is not good or evil in and of itself. It’s all about how people choose to use it.

David Wong

The will to adapt and innovate, disrupt your own mind, is a requirement at this time. It’s not a matter of age, but an attitude for approaching life. How to make things better, one item at a time. How to measure and improve, constantly and with restlessness.

The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.

Bill Gates

Colombian, entrepreneurial, feminist, quite liberal, committed to the work I love, critical of things people think canĀ“t be questioned, coffee drinker, realist, and loyal to my friends. I share my experiences and visions, in the hope that they are useful to you. (My opinions are personal and do not represent my current employer.)

* I am Colombian, and we use two surnames, for both father and mother.
