About Yara
I've spent the last 17 years working on 30+ projects in a variety of industries and have had the opportunity to work intensively on all aspects of the software development process while fulfilling different roles (consultant, requirements engineer, architect, developer, test engineer etc) in different projects.
I specialize in designing systems that align closely with real-world business logic and workflows, making sure they are intuitive, effective, and long-lasting. To achieve this, I focus on collaborating closely with the subject matter experts in order to deeply understand their needs, challenges, and goals. This allows me to deliver solutions that not only meet immediate needs but also improve processes and remain reliable over time.
