About

As a frontend engineer and ui/ux designer, I have successfully taken multiple products from 0 to 1. I have also lead teams effectively, ensuring an environment where people can do their best work. Currently, I work mostly with Java, TypeScript/Javascript, ReactJS, and batch/shell scripts. I have over ~2 years of experience in working remotely with companies all around the world. Looking to progress further in frontend, devops and/or iOS development!
