What I'm looking for

I’m interested in working in a place where I can require both technical problem-solving and creative expertise. I believe my background in Motion Design has given me a unique perspective on user experience and visual design, which can be applied to software development.

I’m a Software Engineer originally from Venezuela with a background in Motion Design and Animation, which I practiced for 20+ years until October of 2021 when I joined a Full-Stack Software Engineer bootcamp at App Academy, which I graduated in June of last year.

I have always been fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. My educational background includes a degree in Visual Communications with specialization in Motion Design and a recently obtained degree in software engineering. This combination of skills has enabled me to approach problems from multiple perspectives, which I believe is a valuable asset in the software engineering field.

I have experience working with a variety of programming languages, including JavaScript, React.js, HTML, CSS, Python, Flask and others. I am comfortable working with both front-end and back-end technologies. And before becoming a Software Engineer, Adobe Creative products and Autodesk family and other design softwares were my everyday.

In addition to my technical skills, I am a fast learner, a team player, and have excellent communication skills. I am eager to learn from more experienced developers and contribute to the success of any team.
