About you
My main professional motivation is to encourage the inclusion of women in Information Technology. I believe that disclosing and attending the OPW I can be an example for the women of my country.

I am assiduous user of Wikipedia and also use other Wikimedia Foundation projects like Wikivoyage. I'm impressed with the amount of people who work and who are aided by tools and the contents published.

Participate in the OPW is one of the way to repay benefits received and be part of this captivating community.

The most recents projects that I worked was online auction system, management system for occupational and occupational medicine, scheduling massages and system of private pension. In this projects I used C#, Ruby on Rails, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, PostgreSQL and Git.

Participation
I plan to communicate my progress through the project page, the IRC channel, the mailing list and the Talks of MediaWiki. I have habit of using GitHub to provide open source codes that I contribute. I saw that Wikimedia has several repositories on GitHub so I think the community is already accustomed to using it, too. I believe that the best way to get help is through the mailing list and IRC channel because everybody can collaborate and I could get an answer more quickly.

Past open source experience
In addition to the open sources projects that I keep on GitHub I made some contributions to projects that are stored there. The most project that I contribute is about Rails and JavaScript. Some project was a library to facilitate the development of projects and a extension to Chrome. I have custom to use a lot of open source at my projects like Git and jQuery.

I also fixed in Template:MediaWiki News, applying new formatting. My collaboration in MediaWiki can be seen here:
