Music of changes: an autobiographical talk about transition and immigration in the tech community
Mentions of violence against trans people

This is an autobiographical talk about my journey in the tech industry: from Brazil to Ireland and from male to female. I had seen the industry from many perspectives and I will discuss the changes that this implied in my professional life as a Software engineer. I will discuss the transphobia in Brazil and the lack of job opportunities for Trans individuals. How Latinxs and immigrant workers are perceived in the Irish tech scene and the difference between the job market in Europe and Latin America.
