Hi, I’m Dr. Teresa Vasquez, but you can call me Dr. T. As a Nashville Tech Council Engineer of the Year finalist and full stack software developer, with the heart of an educator, I enjoy helping others find their power and use their imagination through software development.

I have been a unicorn and champion for UX/UI and its intersection with software engineering before it became a thing. It all started when my son was officially diagnosed with Autism 15 years ago.

My passion is studying how user and business needs collide into amazing opportunities for both designers and developers and taking what I’ve learned into this collaborative relationship to inspire creativity and innovation to build amazing software.

My Mission:

  1. To demand diversity, inclusion, and collaboration for the Nashville tech community, which includes tech users, creators, and designers.
  2. To empower software engineers and designers through innovative instruction and cutting edge creation of software that allows creativity and compassion.
  3. To support users and creators with neurological differences so that they can create and crush their goals.

My Core Values: Honesty, Integrity, Social Responsibility, Trust, Compassion, Hard Work, Perseverance, and Self-Control.
