Ale Thomas

Hi! I'm Ale (Ah-Lay), a Mexican back-end Software Engineer with experience in the automotive and manufacturing industry. I specialize in Java and very recently started my journey to learn front-end development.

I'm particularly enjoying making CSS art, which I share on my Twitter & CodePen.

Part of seriesNews 🗞

Earlier this month, we launched the #WomenWhoTech campaign as part of our efforts to showcase and shed light on gender diversity in the tech industry. One of our now permanent efforts has been creating a new writing challenge to encourage sharing your stories, experiences, or achievements as a woman or supporter of women in tech:

Hashnode Women Who Tech Challenge

In honor of Women's History Month and throughout April 15th, anyone who participates in the challenge will win an official Hashnode t-shirt! 🎉🥳

To Participate:

  1. Write an article sharing your experience as a woman, non-binary folk, or ally of women in tech. Don't forget to add the #WomenWhoTech hashtag!
  2. Share your article, earn the #WomenWhoTech badge, and claim your t-shirt!

Rules:

  • The article must be at least 300 words long
  • You must include the #WomenWhoTech tag
  • The article must be submitted before March 31st, 2022 (Update: April 15th is our new deadline!)

WomenWhoTech Hashnode Rules

The topics of your article can be, but not limited to, the following:

  • My journey into tech
  • Ways to close the gender gap
  • The women in tech I admire
  • Resources for women and non-binary folks

If you're still struggling to come up with a way to structure your article, you can complete and expand on the next prompts:

  • What got me into tech was...

Hi, I wrote my first article on this topic. Below is the link for that. https://hashnode.com/post/i-thought-i-was-not-cut-out-for-tech-womenwhotech-cl0xfdgmz07wuk7nv8qcmf9hu

I was just curious to know whether I was eligible for the hashnode t-shirt or not because I have yet not received any link regarding that.

Hi there, your post didn't go through the challenge because it was posted under the /post, instead of your blog. That hides it from the Hashnode community which means we couldn't see it in time in order to evaluate it.

Eleftheria Batsou3y ago

Hi Obiagba Mary Ifeoma, we've sent the emails to all eligible winners months ago.

Can you please check the spam emails? You should have received an email that ends with hashnode.com

Many people have received their t-shirts and you can see many of them on Twitter, sharing a photo with it :)

Hey Ravleen, yes, if you wrote it before April 15th, it counts for the giveaway. We'll reach out to you soon with the link so you can claim it. :)

Ravleen Kaur4y ago

Yes, I have already written before 15th April but I do not know whether it has been published or not because I am not seeing my published article anywhere. That's why I am worried whether the article I wrote is published or not or I will have to write it again. Ale Thomas
