A bit about my path
I started in tech in Argentina, working as a frontend developer for different companies. After a few years, I decided to move to New Zealand and figure out how the local market worked from the inside.
It wasn't a straight line, but it taught me a lot. I've worked with Kiwi companies both in person and remotely, and I picked up useful lessons about interviews, CVs, culture, and the day-to-day of tech work here.
I don't have every answer, but I've been through many of these steps. If you're starting out in tech or thinking about moving to New Zealand, I can tell you what helped me and what I'd do differently.
