Juan Cruz | Dweb Fellow 2024

I'm Juan. I was born in Venezuela and have been living in Colombia for 6 years. I am currently a final semester student pursuing a degree in Systems and Computer Engineering. My journey with community networks began over two years ago when I joined Red Fusa Libre. What started as a quest for knowledge and a desire to contribute has grown into a deep passion for connecting marginalized communities with the world.

My dedication to community networks stems from witnessing firsthand the transformative impact of internet access in underserved areas. Through my work at Colnodo, I have been involved in implementing and supporting various community-driven initiatives across Colombia. These experiences have not only sharpened my technical skills but also taught me invaluable lessons in empathy, collaboration, and resilience.

I am committed to advocating for decentralized technologies and believe in empowering communities through digital inclusion. My goal is to leverage technology to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that everyone has equitable access to information and opportunities.
