Kim Spicer
Peeling The Onion
Kim’s approach to problem-solving as a software engineer is to do what she has done since her childhood — spend as much time as possible gathering information before making a choice.
“I remember being ten years old when I would finish watching a TV show. I would immediately go and look up all the characters online, I wanted to know everything. When I’m passionate I hyperfixate,” she says.

working at Alma
For Jehovany Cruz dual nationality is a core part of his identity. His right forearm displays a carefully inked Torogoz, the national bird of El Salvador, signifying family and unity. On his left, a man lifted by balloons cycles across the New York City skyline, the state where his parents settled in the 80s.
Jeho’s life today as a front-end software engineer in Los Angeles is far from the frontier of El Salvador and Honduras his parents left behind during the nation’s civil war. Their sacrifice ensured better opportunities for their unborn children, and Jeho, an accomplished React and Javascript coder, has not disappointed, recently taking his mother on a trip back to El Salvador for the first time in two decades.
