Meet your teacher

Hi, I’m Zuza

I’m a software developer, teacher, and manager. I started out as a product manager in the sports industry and then transitioned to the tech world after graduating from a coding bootcamp. 

Since then, I’ve worked on projects encompassing full-stack development, data science, and teaching. Like so many of you, I fell down the Web3 rabbit hole and have been learning and researching ever since. 

My Web3 journey wasn’t always easy; I want to make sure others have an easier time learning and finding the information they need.

When I’m not teaching or coding, you can find me traveling in my camper van, being active, and hanging out with my dog, Leon.

    One of the reasons why i love this project/community: they explain complicated things in a way that’s not overwhelming or boring (which can be hard when the subject matter is something technical like this).

  • @appa_stories

    Surge is a women's community that bridges the gap between the crypto-native and the mainstream. Go from being overwhelmed to excitement and inclusion, and get a helpful atmosphere where women empower each other.
