Focus

In recent years, I have leveraged my background in both engineering and design in various roles and contributions. Within team settings, I naturally lean towards a front-end focus, specializing in crafting exceptional user experiences. My diverse background enables me to proficiently handle both design and development aspects independently when required. In situations where I work solo or placed in a more senior role, I am fully capable of assuming a full-stack position, efficiently transforming concepts into production-ready solutions.

Principles

Good user experiences are subconscious.
Embrace the right tool for each job.
There is no such thing as readable code.
Maintain the curiosity and eagerness of a Junior Engineer.
Share that curiosity and eagerness with others!
