Denilson “Dee” Villeda Velasquez

· Aug 1, 2022

Denilson “Dee” Villeda Velasquez, a DACA recipient, was born in a small town in Ocotepeque, Honduras, and currently resides in NC. At the young age of 13, Dee explored and fell in love with coding. Shortly after HS, he was eager to pursue his tech career so he applied and was accepted into Code The Dream’s first Full Stack remote class in the summer of 2020. Shortly after classes ended, he began his apprenticeship. Since being part of the team, he has worked on different exciting projects and helped many apprentices/peers along the way. In 2022, he was honored to accept the Junior Developer staff role. His other hobbies include traveling, nature hikes, always cooking in the kitchen, having an eye for art, and new tech inventions, and being obsessed with anything space tech. He hopes to continue inspiring, uniting, and positively influencing the Latinx and tech community through his projects, one line of code at a time!

For our final question: Based on the ideas we’ve explored today, what ways do you plan to start (or continue) using technology to build a better future for everyone? How will you connect with your neighbors, your local businesses, and your local government? #CTDxTCE

Even with the ability to connect with people all across the world, digital communication still has its drawbacks, as described by @STurkle in her 2012 @TEDTalks entitled "Connected, but alone?" #CTDxTCE ted.com/talks/sherry_t…

I'm sure many of us have stories about building relationships over the Internet, whether it be through dating apps, gaming communities, activist groups, etc. Tell us about a connection you made using technology that you could not have made without it. #CTExTCE
