Hi, my name is Vanessa -

I am a software engineer working to increase developer productivity at Palo Alto Networks. Primarily I work on building libraries and services for creating, monitoring and managing the resources consumed by smoke infrastructure.

I’m also a community builder and diversity and inclusion advocate. As a lead for Palo Alto Networks’ LatinX employee resource group, JUNTOS!, I work to cultivate community, support, and develop internal employees via events, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and conference funding.

In my spare time, you can typically find me watching Netflix, exploring the outdoors, or playing board games- I hope to one day create my own!
