Hola, soy Lesly Samaritano, Ingeniera de Sistemas e Informática que se especializa en crear soluciones tecnológicas que impacten positivamente la calidad de vida de las personas. En el mundo digital, me conocen como Flutterina.

Mi expertise principal es como desarrolladora de aplicaciones móviles con Flutter, donde integro Inteligencia Artificial (como Gemini) para construir herramientas innovadoras. Esta expertise se complementa con dos años de experiencia en QA para RPA (Automatización Robótica de Procesos) y Bases de Datos.

Mi pasión va más allá del desarrollo: soy Embajadora de Women Techmakers y dedico mis esfuerzos a democratizar la educación digital. A través de mi marca Flutterina, creo contenido en redes sociales (@fluterinapps en TikTok e Instagram). Con ello, no solo incentivo a más mujeres a unirse a carreras STEM, sino que también promuevo la ruta del freelance como una poderosa vía para ganar experiencia por cuenta propia y acelerar el crecimiento profesional.
