Hi, how’s it going? I’m Brahi, from Uruguay. I’ve always been curious, proactive, and energetic. Since I was a kid, I liked learning new things, and at 12 years old, with a Pentium 2 that the whole family used, and a CD with video tutorials about Visual Basic, I started programming.
Years later, I joined a volunteer program to teach robotics to children with special needs at Escuela Especial María Nila Larrosa, in the city of Rocha.
This was a turning point, where I discovered that I didn’t just enjoy learning, but that I had a huge passion for teaching, guiding, and leading, encouraging laughter, teamwork, and peer support.
After that, the rest is history…
