MrValdez

Sony Valdez has been programming for over 30 years. Professionally, he's a backend developer who specializes in scaling and performance.

He is one of Python Philippines founders. Over the years, he has given numerous Python talks and workshops around the country.

During talks, he has a Luchador persona called MrValdez. While Luchadores are known for physical wrestling, MrValdez came from a world where they perform as programmers.

Having accidentally transported here by a strange Python program, MrValdez hopes to one day return to his reality.

He is mostly harmless.
