- With a focus on detail and a certification in UX, I strive to create accessible and
- inclusive experiences while enhancing the developer experience for any team I join. My
- journey began as a fullstack developer, but my joy for the frontend led me to specialize.
- With nearly two decades of development experience, predominantly in an agile CI/CD
- environment, I have worked with teams creating software as a service (SaaS). This includes
- working on older monolithic software, newer microservices, mono-repos, and micro-frontends.
