What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters growth, innovation, and the opportunity to work on impactful projects.

I am an aspiring software developer with a solid engineering background and a deep passion for coding. My journey in software development began with the completion of the Le Wagon Software Development Bootcamp, where I honed my skills in building full-stack applications using Ruby on Rails, SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have successfully developed several projects, including a 21-day habit tracker and an Airbnb-inspired web application, both of which enhanced my understanding of MVC architecture and RESTful APIs.

In addition to my technical skills, I have experience working as an Electrical Technician, where I built and troubleshot electrical systems and programmed PLCs. This role allowed me to collaborate effectively in both remote and on-site settings, managing projects efficiently. I thrive in Agile environments and enjoy working with teams to deliver high-quality solutions. My diverse experiences, from teaching in Thailand to my interests in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and live music, contribute to my well-rounded perspective as a developer.
