Fullstack engineer specializing in TypeScript, React, and Tailwind.
What I'm looking for
I'm a fullstack engineer with over 10 years of experience, specializing in TypeScript, React, and Tailwind. My journey has taken me from helping startups with ambiguous specifications to collaborating with large corporations where clear communication is essential. A personal highlight was taking the Mexican neobank Klar from inception to launch, developing both web and mobile applications that significantly improved user experience and engagement.
In my recent role as a Product Engineer at Mellow Fit, I contributed to a community-focused exercise mobile app, leveraging React Native and Expo to create a seamless cross-platform experience. My previous experiences include working as a UX Engineer at Rough.app, where I enhanced product planning tools through user testing and design adjustments, and as a Web Lead Engineer at Klar, where I played a pivotal role in building the technical foundation for the web platform during critical fundraising rounds.
