Media kit

Organising events is a mess: schedules, speakers, talks, bios…

You write to people, they do not reply, you ask for information, you get half of it, you write again, they ignore you… The photo is low-resolution, the bio is too short or too long, or it is in another language…

You know how it goes.

I have organised quite a few events over the years, and I feel that pain deep in my heart. That is why I decided to leave here what the pros call a “Media Kit”: a place with all the information you might need about me for your event. But media kit sounds better, of course.

Name, links and bios

Carlos Hernández Martín, “@CodingCarlos everywhere”.

LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter (or X, if you prefer) and Bluesky. If you look for me anywhere else, I am usually @CodingCarlos.

I have two versions of my bio: the one I like, and the one Accenture likes (a little more corporate). Both come in short and long versions. Use whichever suits you.

My favourite

Short version:

Carlos is a full-stack developer, JavaScript teacher and people connector. A fan of communities, IPA, Huila coffee, old motorbikes, and talks that do not bore people. He breaks things, fixes them, and then tells the story.

Long version:

Carlos Hernández is a full-stack developer, JavaScript teacher and an unfiltered storyteller. Between projects and talks, he has learnt that technology does not just solve problems: it also starts conversations and, every now and then, gets a laugh.

Over his career, he has gone from being obsessed with code to leading projects in startups, open-source communities and technology companies. He always looks to connect people through ideas, stories and technology. He enjoys breaking technical subjects into understandable pieces, telling uncomfortable truths and sharing lessons without the posturing.

A fan of Huila coffee, old motorbikes and talks that do not bore people, Carlos always finds an excuse to explore a new perspective. He loves breaking things, trying to fix them, and then telling the story of the disaster. Sometimes with slides, sometimes with an IPA in hand.

The formal one

Here are three options you can use as a profile picture. There are more formal than others. Use whichever you like; opening one gives you the original file to download.
