What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to accessibility.

As a Senior iOS Engineer with extensive experience in developing user-centric applications, I have a strong passion for creating accessible and efficient software solutions. My journey began with a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico, where I honed my technical skills and developed a keen interest in mobile app development.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that prioritize user experience and accessibility. At Ovia Health, I significantly improved the app's WCAG compliance from 5% to over 90% within two years, showcasing my commitment to inclusivity in technology. My expertise in Swift, SwiftUI, and various development practices has allowed me to implement innovative features and enhance existing functionalities, making a tangible impact on user engagement and satisfaction.

I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy tackling complex challenges. My experience spans across various industries, and I am always eager to learn and adapt to new technologies. I am excited to contribute my skills to a forward-thinking team that values innovation and user experience.
