About Sofía Méndez
Contributing Editor, No-Code & Automation
Bogotá, Colombia
Sofía is the operations lead at a 50-person startup in Bogotá, which means she lives inside tools like Make, Notion, and Zapier every single day. She doesn’t review tools from the outside — she writes about what breaks, what works better than expected, and what the documentation gets wrong.
Her speciality is no-code automation: the platforms that let non-technical teams build workflows without writing a line of code. She’s built production automations in Make, n8n, Zapier, and Airtable, and has a strong opinion about which one is actually worth learning first (it depends on your use case, but she’ll tell you exactly why).
At ToolsBrief, Sofía covers automation platforms, AI productivity tools, and no-code SaaS — primarily in Spanish, with a focus on tools that make practical sense for Latin American teams operating on real budgets. She brings a healthy skepticism to every review: her first instinct is to look for the catch.

Background: Operations and process lead at a Bogotá-based startup. Began building no-code workflows in 2020 out of necessity — there was no engineer available and the work needed to get done.
