About

I grew up with unrestricted internet access and it shows.

whoami

My name is Valentina, but people usually call me Valen, Val, or V. Born and raised in Venezuela, currently living in Barcelona, Spain.

I like computers, discovering fun things on the interweb, and exploring the intersection between the digital and our physical world.

I also defend human rights in digital spaces. Since 2019 I’ve been doing research on internet censorship and teaching about cybersecurity best practices. You can find some of my activism work here and here.

🖥️ Currently working as DevOps/SRE/Systems engineer.
