Resume

About me

Learn about my work as a developer and the personal interests that keep me inspired outside the office.

I’m an experienced web and mobile developer with a natural affinity for UI and Frontend technologies, while maintaining strong capabilities in both Frontend and Backend development. I have a solid track record of building web applications from the ground up, taking projects through design, development, and deployment. I am passionate about creating efficient and visually appealing applications that prioritize a great user experience. I stand out for my problem-solving skills and ability to adapt quickly, and I also excel in tackling complex technical challenges. My diverse background, including a career shift after earning a Master’s in International Business, enhances my ability to understand product needs and collaborate effectively across teams. I’m always looking for new challenges to further develop my skills and am eager to learn new technologies.

Outside of work, I’m a creative person who enjoys music, often spending time playing guitar and piano. Fitness is also a big part of my life, and I train consistently at the gym four to five times a week year-round. In my downtime, I like to unwind by hanging out with friends, playing video games, or catching up on series.

Experience

Combining my background in sales and full stack development, I leverage technical skills and client-focused insights to deliver well-rounded solutions and collaborate effectively across teams.
