Code Work

In Code Work, Hector Beltrán explores how Mexican and Latinx hackers integrate coding concepts into their daily lives, navigating a transnational tech economy. Drawing on eight years of research, he examines their innovative strategies—from iterative processing to full-stack development—as they engage with social dynamics at home, work, and beyond. Merging ethnographic analysis with systems thinking, Beltrán's work connects technology studies with the anthropology of capitalism and Latinx studies.
