What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow within a collaborative team environment.

My name is Daniel Misael Mercado Dueñas, a Mexican-Australian Full-Stack Developer with a unique blend of technical and artistic skills. With a background in visual arts and art history, I approach web development with a creative mindset, focusing on responsive and accessible design. My experience spans both front-end and back-end development, utilizing technologies such as React, Vue, and Node.js to create interactive applications that resonate with users.

Throughout my career, I co-founded and directed an independent art gallery, where I honed my leadership and project management skills while collaborating with over 180 artists and writers. I am passionate about technology's creative dimensions and am eager to contribute to innovative teams within Mexico's vibrant tech and design scene. Currently based in Guadalajara, I am open to remote, hybrid, or on-site opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment.
