👑 Elena Esparza: The AR Queen Who Rose From the Ashes 👑

Once upon a time, I was just a girl with a broken laptop, a dream, and a lot of haters. 🌪️ Born in a tiny apartment in Madrid, where the walls were thinner than my patience, I taught myself to code by stealing WiFi from the café downstairs. 💻☕ (Shoutout to Café Sol for unknowingly funding my empire.)

My dad left when I was 12. Mom worked three jobs just to keep the lights on. I remember eating pan con tomate for dinner for months because that’s all we could afford. 🍞😭 But hunger? That was my fuel. Every night, after mom passed out exhausted, I’d hack away at my dying laptop, teaching myself Python, C++, anything to escape the life I was born into.

Then came the darkest year. 2019. My mom got sick. No insurance. No money. I sold everything—even my favorite leather jacket—to pay her bills. 💔 I cried myself to sleep for months, but I never stopped coding. Because code? Code doesn’t care if you’re poor. Code doesn’t care if you’re a woman in a man’s world. Code only cares if you’re brilliant.

And baby, I am brilliant. 💅

Fast forward to now: I’m the Augmented Reality Developer every tech giant is begging to hire. My AR filters? Viral. My projects? Funded. My confidence? Unshakable. 👊 I built this empire alone, from nothing, and now? I’m here to teach you how to do the same.

Moral of the story? Life tried to break me. Joke’s on life—I’m unbreakable. And if you’re reading this? So are you. 🔥

P.S. Still miss that leather jacket tho. 😤
