ABOUT ME
2-in-1 product designer and developer
2-in-1 product designer and developer

Originally trained as an industrial designer; software computers and computerized devices have always been in my scope. My career as a designer has been punctuated by numerous small and large software projects, and I wore the hats of the designer and developer for a lot of them. I initiated a full career transition into frontend development in 2020 and now I'm looking for a two-ended challenge that will let me grow and give me the opportunity to grow products and other people with my combined experience.
