Prescilla Hurbin

I’m Belgian, 32 years old, married, and living in Argentina.

I’ve always needed to understand how things work — to take them apart, analyze them, and connect the dots. Development entered my life that way… and very quickly became much more than just a job.

I genuinely love software development. It’s a constant source of curiosity and learning. There’s always something new to discover, question, or improve — new problems, new ways of thinking, better approaches. It’s a vast, demanding, and deeply stimulating playground.

I move forward by adapting to what comes. Changes, new contexts, adjustments — they’re part of the journey. It’s in this ability to adapt that I feel the most free.

This mindset naturally shapes how I work. I like to understand before acting, to approach things thoughtfully, and to build coherent solutions that can evolve without becoming rigid. What matters to me is that systems hold up — technically, but above all, humanly.

At the core, I believe that everything has meaning.

What drives me

Curiosity Always learning, always questioning
Authenticity Saying what I think and doing what I say
Challenge Exploring, understanding, and pushing past what I thought was possible
Thoughtful Building with care, for those who will live with the systems
