Diversity reboot

Percy is a software engineer on the Corporate Application team at Yelp and is currently based in Cambridge, UK. Before Yelp he gained diverse experience across different industries and regions. In China, he worked as a middle office engineer in the Investment Banking sector in both Hong Kong and Shenzhen. In Japan, he served as an infrastructure engineer in the gaming industry in Tokyo. Before Asia, Percy was in South America, where he worked as an automation engineer at two telecommunications companies in his home country Bolivia. Percy is of Aymara descent and was born in Viacha (Bolivia) where he grew up speaking Aymara and Spanish.

Throughout his career, Percy has had the opportunity to communicate with colleagues primarily in their local languages, such as English, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish. This has not only facilitated effective professional interactions but also enabled him to learn, understand, and respect the cultural and social dynamics of each community. Outside of work, Percy is a big Bruce Lee fan (even learned some martial arts) and loves to swim every week.
