ABOUT ME

I build products.

I've always been obsessed with perfecting the Developer Experience. From optimizing workflows to simplifying code, I love making life easier for myself and fellow developers.

On the other hand, my business-oriented self has been keenly focused on delivering exceptional User Experiences.

Somewhere along the way, I discovered my knack for unraveling complex tech concepts and transforming them into understandable language, naturally leading me to embrace the mentor role and to start this blog.

Throughout my journey, I have consistently pursued my passion by creating side projects, fostering my creativity, and bringing ideas to life.
