Maria Gomez Aguirre

My name is Maria Gomez. I work as a consultant and software developer for ThoughtWorks, where I help companies to become more agile by delivering excellent software and improving their technical skills.

I'm a bit of a traveller and I lived and worked in Madrid, Budapest, London and now New York.

Before Thoughtworks I worked for Vexed Digital (AKA Future Platforms), an independent digital agency based in London, creating web solutions for Dominos Pizza, Virgin Atlantic and Maggie's Cancer Care among others.

I have somehow started giving talks, mainly in JavaScript and Mobile Development, both in the US and in the UK. Watch this space for the latest in those ;)

My main passion is coaching and helping the next generation of developers to achieve their goals. I'm also really interested on motivating girls to learn about technology and to support them if they want to make IT their career. I have participated in quite a few events like Rails Girls in London and now organizing the next one in New York, Women Who Code meetups and helped the grils from Arrive launching their product.
