Juan Delfino (feat. Sunlight)

Giants & Crowns

Juan Delfino is currently working on his way to empower employees education in a transparent and accountable way with Sunlight. Sunlight is a venture backed company that is providing "learning as a benefit" to employees in the UK, Europe, Australia, Singapore, Costa Rica & the US. Juan has been coding since 15 when he worked for his uncle’s consulting firm. He started working with Perl back when PHP 3 was a novelty (and a relief). He worked his way into Ruby on Rails and got through college building all sorts of websites for 3rd parties. He went on to become a developer and project manager at Barcelona's PIC, creating graphic monitoring software that served scientific laboratories such as CERN.

Juan complemented his expertise in software development by developing strong business foundations and attending several leadership and negotiation courses in renowned universities such as Harvard Law school, ESADE andCharles III University of Madrid. He founded Akdemia in 2011, a school management platform focused on improving communication within K-12 schools in South America. It was initially funded by Wayra (wayra.org), later became part of Techstars Berlin in 2015 and was named one of Latin Americas most innovative startups by IDB. Juan is a firm believer that education is the best investments towards a better world and a better future.
