Micaela Reyes builds systems that align tools and technology with human needs. She helps ideas move from intent to impact, working through uncertainty and limited resources to reach ambitious goals.

Drawing from her roots as a software engineer, she now builds ecosystems at the intersection of technology, education, and social impact—translating vision into systems that actually work through her roles at Ateneo TRL (Technical Resource Lab) and PythonPH. She is a Fellow of the Python Software Foundation and a recipient of its Community Service Award for sustaining the Python community in the Philippines. Volunteers at PythonPH fondly call her “Ate Mickey” (older sister), a gesture of closeness that she deeply values.

Python has been at the center of her journey—not just as a programming language, but as a community she has chosen to serve. As a woman in tech, Micaela sees empowerment as a matter of deliberate action: not just being heard, but making change where it counts.
