With a longstanding passion for coding, technology and innovation, I startedHackberryto create a space where people can discover, explore and connect through technology. I wanted to make these fields more accessible to those who may not have had the opportunity to get involved, while also bringing together people already involved in these fields to meet, share ideas and build connections. Through Hackberry, I hope to encourage more people to explore their interests and feel part of the technology community.Thanks to our lovely sponsors:
