THE ORIGIN

Laboratoria

FEB — AUG 2019 / LIMA

I'd left a degree behind and no real idea how I was going to get into tech. This is what happened next.

01 / ARRIVING

I got in through a side door, not a university. Six months in Lima learning frontend the only way it was taught there: by building things.

02 / MAKING

03 / AFTER

My first job in tech came out of that.

And then another. And another. Six years later I'm still doing the same thing I started doing there: building things and trying to understand them a little better.
