Back to original languageAbout Raquel
I am a software engineer with over 5 years of experience in full-stack web development. I specialize in creating robust, scalable, and maintainable solutions, and I enjoy tackling technical challenges and constantly learning.
Throughout my career, I have worked on web applications in various sectors, including expert appraisal, stock management, multimedia content, and information retrieval systems. I have also been part of a product-oriented startup, where I actively contributed to the development of a SaaS platform. I have been involved in all stages of the development lifecycle, from requirements gathering and analysis to design, development, testing, and deployment of solutions. Additionally, I have experience working with agile methodologies like Scrum and prioritize best practices such as clean code, quality assurance, and continuous improvement.
My main stack is based on the Java ecosystem (Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate), relational databases like PostgreSQL, and frontend technologies such as Angular, React, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. I also use tools like Git, Jenkins, SonarQube, and GitHub Actions for version control, CI/CD, and quality assurance. Recently, I have incorporated AI-assisted development tools (like ChatGPT and Claude Code) to increase my productivity, solve problems faster, and optimize workflows.
Outside of work, I focus on continuing my professional growth, strengthening my analytical and management skills, as well as my technical abilities. I am currently particularly curious about emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud-native development.
I value flexibility, remote work, and opportunities that challenge me and drive my growth, whether by learning new technologies or participating in innovative projects.
