Daisy Mayorga, GDG Organizer
About
✨ I'm Daisy Mayorga, a passionate technologist and co-founder of yüda, a company dedicated to Empowering Equity in Emerging Technologies. With my Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from California State University, Monterey Bay, and experience as a Google Developer Group organizer and Women Techmakers Ambassador, I've been a champion for inclusion and diversity in technology, working tirelessly to create a more equitable community.
📒 As a project manager at Bitwise Industries, I oversaw multiple projects and ensured their successful completion. Additionally, I helped grow the training team and onboarded multiple project managers, furthering Bitwise's mission of empowering underrepresented communities through technology.
🍷 🧑🏽💻 🦺 📏 Prior to Bitwise, I spent 14 years at the world's largest winery, E & J Gallo Winery, where I gained extensive experience in manufacturing, distribution, training, media, Lean Six Sigma, safety, and development. Working in the industry, I got to experience first hand how the fourth industrial revolution shifted the job market in manufacturing to focus more on automation rather than manual labor.
🦦 🏫 I've also worked on award-winning technology projects, including the development of Spottr, a location scouting app for photographers. With a focus on creating a more equitable and just future through technology, I'm thrilled to join yüda to drive change and empower underrepresented communities.
💫 Personal Note: I was born in Honduras. Became a US Citizen at 18. I lived in the Bay Area when we first came to the US and grew up most of my life in Modesto. I have a 7 year old daughter who is a fashion icon and my super hero.
