3+ years of experiencie
A software developer with over three years of experience in front-end development. I currently work at a company that delivers specialized software solutions for universities and organizations across Latin America. One of my key achievements was securing third place in my first NTTDATA Hackathon. This experience reinforced my drive for continuous learning and my appreciation for how technology can address real-world challenges and enhance business operations. Outside of work, I dedicate time to projects like CityUbi, a platform designed to showcase local products and services. I also value spending quality time with friends and family, maintaining a balance that fuels both personal and professional growth.
Shhh… too much formal talk, don't you think? Let's keep it simple: I build cool stuff for the web and the people.
Every project, every bug, every late-night coding session—this is how I got here.
