About

Before coming to development, I worked as a UX Specialist.

My desire to solve problems, however, led me to invest more of my effort into developing my technical skills.

Development helps me combine my previous experiences, where I approach any problem with an engineering mindset -- to look out for ways to solve it -- and as a behavioral analyst -- to understand where in the application users might run into road blocks.

I'm a lifelong student at heart: I look forward to grow more in development under great programmers to tackle the challenges of emerging technologies in the greater Boston area or remotely.

I'm an activist at core: I would love to dedicate my effort and time in a company that works for the greater good of the world!
