Description

With a foundation in interaction design from art school, I bring a creative, user-focused approach to full-stack development and software engineering. I consider each project a unique puzzle to solve, crafting innovative solutions that are as functional as they are intuitive. My journey has evolved from PHP and Flash to a refined expertise in JavaScript, specifically using EmberJS and NestJS, where I excel at delivering well-rounded, custom solutions that address both technical challenges and user needs.

Every project is an opportunity to blend engineering and creativity, solving custom problems with reliable tools and processes. I prioritize sustainable and scalable architecture, with a knack for balancing user-centered design with high-performance standards.
