In this episode of Peruvians of USA, host Nathalie sits down with Lidia, founder of Poderosa Coding, to discuss her inspiring transition from education to tech. While Lidia is not Peruvian, her journey is one that our community can learn from—especially when it comes to career pivots, job searching, and overcoming challenges like layoffs.  

Lidia shares how she discovered coding, enrolled in a bootcamp during the pandemic, and landed her first job in tech. But the journey didn’t stop there—she also faced a layoff and had to navigate uncertainty. She opens up about how she rebuilt her career, leveraged personal branding, and used LinkedIn to create new opportunities.
