"I got into tech through the back door: as part of my Physics studies, needing to write code to run simulations and process data. Python had something the others didn't: it was genuinely fun. And then I discovered the community, and that was it."
"The human contributions matter more to me than the technical ones. The contributors I've mentored who became core developers themselves. Helping people feel welcome and capable in this community is the work that actually keeps me going."
"Every year I get that same rush walking into a room full of people who care as deeply about this stuff as I do. What I'm most looking forward to is seeing everyone: there are so many people in this community I only get to see once a year."
Pablo Galindo Salgado entered tech through Physics studies, initially using Fortran 77 and C++. He found Python enjoyable and was inspired by the supportive community. He values human contributions, such as mentoring new developers, more than technical achievements. Salgado has attended five PyCon US events and looks forward to reconnecting with the community, appreciating the shared passion for technology and collaboration.
