Web Skills Expert

Nayeli began her Wix journey in 2010.  She became a Wix Ambassador for the Rio Grande Valley in Texas from 2016 to 2019 (until the program closed down).  Nayeli was interviewed by Wix and featured in their Wix Blog and Wix Analyst & Investor Day in 2018.  Nayeli appeared as guest speaker at the first ever WixCon in 2018 and 2019 (before Covid shut down the following conferences).  She was among the first small group of Wix Velo Developers to be Certified by Wix in 2020.  There are over 20,000 professional Wix Experts that use the Wix platform and Code Queen is amongst a small handful that have been officially recognized and celebrated by Wix.

SpreadSimple has been stapled the platform that creates and manages website via Google Sheets. The popular use case is for very simple ecommerce or listing sites.  Nayeli has been known to think outside the box.  SpreadSimple has recognized her creative uniqueness to shatter the normal use cases their platform was originally thought to be intended for.

Nayeli was named an Ada Lovelace Awards Finalist for the Engineer category of developers for Women in Tech in October 2020.  The next year, in October, she was named the 2021 Ada Lovelace Award Winner for the same category for her leadership, impact, innovation and community contributions in tech.

Book Like a Boss is a robust booking app that is used by hundreds of thousands of users.  It became popular after being featured on AppSumo (an Austin, TX company).  Since 2017, BLAB had been trying to 'work with Wix' to allow their app to work on Wix sites via embed.  Unfortunately, BLAB reached many dead ends and could not provide a solution for their users.  Code Queen, after exclusively using this booking app for her business, had enough of hosting her booking page on a separate platform.  So she created a work around by using Velo and a little creativity.  BLAB has now published her solution on their website and named her solution "pretty epic".
