Tech Founder | Builder | Community Leader
"I've been building on the internet for over 20 years. I just didn't believe it until recently."
The Short Version
I downloaded my first HTML template in Dreamweaver in 2003. I've been building things on the internet ever since, through blogs, e-commerce, radio, marketing agencies, and now AI-powered products.
For a long time I kept telling myself "I'm not technical." I studied Law, switched to Integrated Marketing Communications, ran a marketing agency, became Shopify Certified during the pandemic, hosted El Salvador's first tech podcast for 8+ years. I was always building. I just didn't call it that.
In December 2022 I discovered ChatGPT and got obsessed. That obsession led me to generative AI, then to Lovable, then to shipping real products. AI didn't make me less technical. It made me more technical, because I finally had the bridge my professors never gave me.
Today I'm at the best moment of my life. Everything I've done, the marketing, the radio, the brands, the hard years, it all connects now. I build products, I ship, I help others do the same. Not because I finally learned how. Because I finally stopped waiting for permission.

"Siempre fui builder, solo no me lo creía"
From curious to product thinker with AI and no-code
Carol has been building on the internet for over 20 years, but for a long time she kept telling herself "I'm not technical." In this talk she shares how AI didn't just remove that barrier but made her more technical than ever, how she combines systems thinking and creativity to build products and automations with real ROI, and shows her workflow with Lovable to go from idea to product. You leave with concrete steps to start building today, without waiting for someone to tell you that you can.
