What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can combine UX design and front-end skills to build accessible, user-centered products within collaborative, agile teams that value testing, measurable impact, and continuous learning.

I am a bilingual UX/UI designer and software engineer with hands-on experience in user research, prototyping, and front-end development. I blend design thinking with technical skills to deliver accessible, high-converting interfaces.

My work includes leading UX for a national e-commerce ticketing platform and redesigning an academic evaluation tool, achieving measurable improvements in usability, task success, and clarity. I use Figma extensively and produce high-fidelity prototypes that drive product decisions.

In my engineering roles I perform requirements gathering, design use and test cases, and draft user and process documentation to ensure reliable system behavior. I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and apply agile methodologies to iterate quickly and effectively.

I hold a B.S. in Software Engineering and certifications in Human-Computer Interaction and UX research methods; I prioritize accessibility, measurable outcomes, and continuous improvement in every project.
