Hey, this is Juliana, a bit about myself, I'm originally from Brazil, have been living in Oakland for 10 yrs, and in the last 3 ones I got more involved in the tech world. In 2019 I joined a software eng bootcamp and since 2020 I've been working as a software engineer. I never imagined I was going to work in tech one day, much less be a software engineer. Having a non-tech background and being a person from several underrepresented groups in tech make it hard to imagine that's even a possibility.
Anyways, it's because of that that I've been trying to volunteer more and more to help the community to conquer what I got, and that's where Sudo Rooms gets in. I've heard about Sudo Room maybe 3 years ago but never had the opportunity to be part of an event (cause pandemic..). I would love to help organize some kind of event with women/nb only and have a "coding night", where we can help each other in coding projects or even help ppl to learn how to code. I see you folks have a JS night, so it would prob be something similar.
I emphasize the women/nb only because this is a real barrier in tech, I studied in a women/nb only bootcamp and that totally made a difference. Even when men are allies and empathize with beginners, It's all about seeing that other non-men can do that and feel empowered by that.
About my skills, I'm still Level I but have been working with Ruby on Rails, Python, SQL, React, Typescript. I'm full stack although I prefer backend :) So far I've volunteered/attended events from Techtonica, Women who Code, Wnb.rb, Ruby for Good, Lesbians who Tech, PyLadies, etc.

Let me know if this is something Sudo Room would be interested in hosting!
