I'm a 30 y/o solution-driven Frontend Developer eager to contribute to the team's success and to a collaborative work environment, finding solutions and determining customer satisfaction while meeting the highest standards for web design and user experience. I have experience building web applications for desktop and mobile for more than 8 years using HTML/CSS, TypeScript, React, Angular across multiple APIs and third-party integrations.
Outside work I like to keep myself busy. Over the years I have developed a passion for music and especially playing guitar. I also love playing video games, I'm a big fan of From Software games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Elden Ring. More recently, I discovered skiing and became addicted to it, this has become my gateway when I need to take a break from my usual routine.
