It was 1993 and he was living in Monterrey, Mexico. One day, while hanging out at his grandmother\u2019s house, one of his uncles, a software engineer, brought over a Printaform with MS-DOS 1.0. Martinez was instantly curious to learn everything about the machine. That day was the beginning of his path to becoming a software developer in the United States \u2014 a path filled with culturally-specific obstacles the Texas-born Martinez hopes to clear for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-55810\" data-id=\"55810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/mm-child.jpg?w=1024\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Born in Texas, Martinez was raised in Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-55809\" data-id=\"55809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/mm-child-2.jpg?w=1024\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Born in Texas, Martinez was raised in Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since falling in love with the camaraderie from his first Dallas MuleSoft Meetup in 2016, Martinez has made it his mission to help others thrive in the tech industry. As a LATAM MuleSoft Practice Lead and Solutions Architect for Openlogix, a tech services company based in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, Martinez has now mentored over 100 people around the globe, with an emphasis in Mexico and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs MuleSoft and the whole Salesforce ecosystem expands into Latin America, there\u2019s a big opportunity to continue enabling people there and truly change their lives,\u201d Martinez told the Salesforce Newsroom. \u201cThere are roles for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/salesforce-digital-skills-index-details-major-gaps-across-19-countries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce\u2019s 2022 Global Digital Skills Index<\/a>, which surveyed 23,000+ workers across 19 countries, just 29% of workers in Mexico say they\u2019re very equipped with the resources to learn digital skills right now. Yet 46% say they\u2019re actively involved in digital skills learning and training programs. The stats show the region is hungry for digital skills \u2014 and Martinez is ready to provide nourishment through mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tableau-viz-embed-container \">\n\t<tableau-viz\n\t\tclass=\"tableau-viz-embed\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/public.tableau.com\/views\/DigitalSkillsIndex_16421956732270\/DigitalSkillsReadinessIndexScore?:language=en-USu0026:display_count=nu0026:origin=viz_share_link\"\n\t\ttoolbar=\"hidden\"\n\t\thide-tabs\n\t><\/tableau-viz>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-intricacies-of-cultural-communication\">The intricacies of cultural communication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite taking programming classes since high school and mastering programming languages like Java, it took Martinez a long time to truly believe he could have a successful tech career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery time you see a developer or hacker on TV, you see someone barely looking at the computer screen, typing 1000 words per minute!\u201d laughed Martinez. \u201cI thought, \u2018Man, I\u2019m never going to get to that point.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to not looking the part, language was a huge obstacle for Martinez. Not just from a translation standpoint, but even a time management perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBack in school, I had to reread everything a thousand times before I understood something that was very challenging,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cKnowing English helped me understand technical books faster. But as I moved up in my career, I realized communication style and word choice are just as important. I can use technical jargon and buzz words in my engagements and meetings in the business world, but those are different than the words you use with friends or outside of work. It\u2019s still a challenge for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"55805-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/D73rlbJUcAMPg39.jpeg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55805\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Trailblazer Miguel Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<div id=\"55805-modal\" class=\"image-modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"image-dialog-title\"><div class=\"image-modal__overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-a11y-dialog-hide><\/div><div class=\"image-modal__content\" role=\"dialog\"><button class=\"image-modal__close-button\" type=\"button\" data-a11y-dialog-hide aria-label=\"Close this image dialog window\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 26 25\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><rect x=\".626\" y=\"22.753\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(-45 .626 22.753)\"\/><rect x=\"2.747\" y=\".125\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(45 2.747 .125)\"\/><\/svg><\/button><h1 id=\"image-dialog-title\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Image Modal<\/h1>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/D73rlbJUcAMPg39.jpeg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55805\"\/><figcaption>Trailblazer Miguel Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where tools in the Salesforce ecosystem can become invaluable to Trailblazers like Martinez. <a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trailhead<\/a> \u2014 Salesforce\u2019s free online learning platform \u2014 features self-paced courses and training modules on everything from soft skills like <a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/en\/content\/learn\/modules\/career-development-planning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">career development planning<\/a>, to hard skills like integrating apps and data with <a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/en\/content\/learn\/trails\/get-started-with-mulesoft-composer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MuleSoft Composer<\/a>.

Posts\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/noscript>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>For all of his pro bono work, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mulesoft.com\/community\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MuleSoft Community<\/a> named Martinez a <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mulesoft.com\/community\/ambassadors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MuleSoft Ambassador<\/a>, a title that recognizes his contributions in mentoring developers and blazing trails for others by hosting regular meetups, speaking at events, translating content from English to Spanish, coaching through social media, and continuing to brainstorm ways to shrink cultural communication gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe communication in Spanish is not always the same level of detail as used in the U.S. That can lead to confusion,\u201d said Martinez, who\u2019s working on a training program on communication tips for Latin American developers. \u201cFor instance, when I&#8217;m preparing mentees for an interview, they might say something like, \u2018Go up and left.\u2019 But I ask them to elaborate: \u2018Go up where? Where is up?\u2019 I teach them to be more precise in their communication on U.S. projects or with American developers. It helps close that cultural gap when it comes to communication style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The diversity of opportunity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on his own career opportunities, Martinez is passionate about creating more diverse representation in the tech industry, but he\u2019s not just referring to race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m often the only Hispanic on high performing IT teams and I can trace that back to the opportunity of having a high quality education,\u201d reflected Martinez, whose father was a professor at the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Nuevo Le\u00f3n in Mexico and enrolled him in college programming classes when he was still in high school. \u201cDiversity is not limited to ethnic background or ideology, it can be about opportunities for education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor example, in smaller Latin American towns, there aren\u2019t many opportunities for work,\u201d Martinez explained. \u201cIn America, there\u2019s a lot of mobility. You\u2019re not expected to stay in the place you grew up, you can move. In Mexico, that\u2019s not always the case. If you grow up in one area, you usually stay there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"55808-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/20191120_160800-rotated-1.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"miguel martinez at dreamforce\" class=\"wp-image-55808\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Trailblazer Miguel Martinez at a previous Dreamforce in San Francisco<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<div id=\"55808-modal\" class=\"image-modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"image-dialog-title\"><div class=\"image-modal__overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-a11y-dialog-hide><\/div><div class=\"image-modal__content\" role=\"dialog\"><button class=\"image-modal__close-button\" type=\"button\" data-a11y-dialog-hide aria-label=\"Close this image dialog window\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 26 25\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><rect x=\".626\" y=\"22.753\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(-45 .626 22.753)\"\/><rect x=\"2.747\" y=\".125\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(45 2.747 .125)\"\/><\/svg><\/button><h1 id=\"image-dialog-title\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Image Modal<\/h1>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/20191120_160800-rotated-1.jpg?w=768\" alt=\"miguel martinez at dreamforce\" class=\"wp-image-55808\"\/><figcaption>Trailblazer Miguel Martinez at a previous Dreamforce in San Francisco<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Martinez isn\u2019t just passionate about representation, he\u2019s actively participating in changing the data \u2014 proving that equity can change outcomes for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMobility can come from visibility. A trained software engineer was working as a construction worker after he couldn\u2019t find career opportunities near where he lived,\u201d explained Martinez. \u201cBy bringing MuleSoft projects to his region, I was able to give him some more visibility. He proved himself and landed a better salary. Same thing happened with a Junior MuleSoft support engineer who wanted to become a developer. We opened some doors for her, guided her through the interview process. Through a lot of hard work and dedication, she landed a new career. Now, just over a year later, she\u2019s a MuleSoft Mentor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/trailblazerdx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TrailblazerDX<\/a>, Salesforce\u2019s annual developer conference on April 27-28, Martinez will join thousands of Trailblazers across Salesforce, MuleSoft, Slack, and Tableau to discuss the latest and greatest tech innovations. But for Martinez, the Salesforce ecosystem\u2019s most powerful innovation is enablement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I love Salesforce, because we emphasize diversity and inclusion. It doesn&#8217;t matter where you come from, your education. It doesn&#8217;t matter that you were an accountant and now want to be a developer, you can be a developer. You just need a chance.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or a trail.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"wp-block-image__modal-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\" data-modal-id=\"55804-modal\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open Image Modal<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/Miguel1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55804\"\/><\/a><figcaption>MuleSoft Ambassador Miguel Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<div id=\"55804-modal\" class=\"image-modal\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"image-dialog-title\"><div class=\"image-modal__overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-a11y-dialog-hide><\/div><div class=\"image-modal__content\" role=\"dialog\"><button class=\"image-modal__close-button\" type=\"button\" data-a11y-dialog-hide aria-label=\"Close this image dialog window\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 26 25\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><rect x=\".626\" y=\"22.753\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(-45 .626 22.753)\"\/><rect x=\"2.747\" y=\".125\" width=\"32\" height=\"3\" rx=\"1.5\" transform=\"rotate(45 2.747 .125)\"\/><\/svg><\/button><h1 id=\"image-dialog-title\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Image Modal<\/h1>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/au\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/12\/Miguel1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55804\"\/><figcaption>MuleSoft Ambassador Miguel Martinez<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Trailblazer stories:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/career-bartender-lands-tech-analyst-job-through-free-salesforce-workforce-programs\/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=organic_social&amp;utm_campaign=amer_cbaw&amp;utm_content=AMER%2CDigital+Transformation%2CEnglish%2Cequality%2Cfeature+stories%2Clink%2CNewsroom%2CTrailhead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Career Bartender Lands Tech Analyst Job Through Trailhead and Salesforce Pathfinder<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/news\/stories\/how-a-laid-off-restaurant-manager-used-salesforce-to-find-a-tech-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How a Laid-Off Restaurant Manager Used Salesforce to Forge a Tech Career<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/trailhead.salesforce.com\/en\/trailblazercommunity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is the Trailblazer Community?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Take: To help diversify the tech industry, MuleSoft solutions architect Miguel Martinez has mentored hundreds of developers, focusing on bridging the technical skills and cultural communication gaps between Latin America and the United States.
