01. About Me

I’m an experienced Software Engineer with over 5 years of programming experience and 4 years of professional experience building elegant UIs and crafting great APIs.

On the frontend, I use frameworks like Vue.js and React.js to consume APIs and build scalable applications and on the backend, I’m skilled in building RESTful APIs, implementing continuous integration and delivery using Github Actions and Circle CI.

I'm an avid fan of test-driven development and I believe that no feature is complete unless it is adequately tested.

I love programming, coffee, gaming and everything in-between.
