I’m starting my career as a freelancer.
Ever since I was young, I loved messing around with HTML and CSS. I used to spend hours and hours editing code so I could make my Hi5 more aesthetic and fun and then the same with tumblr. I grew up, life happened and after struggling with taking care of my father after he head a horrible aneurysm, I decided to study psychology and then neuropsychology, in the hopes of being able to help more, understand more and also, I loved it. I still do, but after sometime working on the field, I’ve found myself completely drained. I’m a very empathetic person, and dealing with all those raw charged of emotions such as sadness, fear and despair, I decided I needed to change what I was gonna do for the rest of my life. That’s when I decided to learn code!
I enrolled in a bootcamp and I had so much fun! I got to intern at Mercedes-benz.io but I had a major health issue in 2022 and I spent sometime recovering and not working. I’ve been back since the end of 2023, working as a freelance and also as an instructoral designer at Kendir Studios. I look forward to work with you!
