WWDC Keynote Reaction Panel Discussion

Paola Mata

I'm Paola (not Paolo). I'm an iOS developer, social media addict, and occasional blogger based in Brooklyn.

I'm currently building awesome apps at BuzzFeed, where last year I was part of the team that launched the highly acclaimed BuzzFeed News app.

I am also actively involved in the tech community as co-founder of NYC Tech Latinas and regularly volunteer my time to promoting diversity in tech and supporting the next wave of new programmers.

When I'm not buried in code, you'll likely find me binge-watching a sci-fi series on Netflix, lifting at the gym, or hunting down good eats.
