S10 E27: The Nearshore Engineering Era: Sourcing Elite Latin American Tech Talent and Eliminating Time-Zone Fragmentation with Gino Ferrand, Founder & CEO of Tecla.io

Gino Ferrand is originally from Peru, and moved to the United States when he was 12 years old. Now, he lives in Seattle, and is enjoying all that the Northwest has to offer. He's very much into sports, specifically soccer, and plays in an indoor league with a great community. He loves to travel, and gets to often with the world he does. And when it comes to food, he is very evangelistic about Peruvian food, and encourages people to try every chance he gets.

Gino attend the University of San Diego, and was really into startups. He was building mobile games for the iPhone in 2012, while living back in Peru for a short time. He hired a few engineers from back home, and this started him on the journey of understanding the great talent in South America.
