What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my skills.

I am a web developer with over six years of experience, primarily focused on Ruby on Rails. My passion lies in full-stack development, where I thrive on creating practical solutions and writing maintainable code. I have a strong commitment to applying best practices and managing complexity in my projects.

In my recent role at Veridapt, I contributed to the development of integrated software systems for the mining and rail industries. I took on the responsibility of Release Manager, where I improved the release process, ensuring smoother deployments and better communication among teams. My experience also includes working on international applications, requiring support for multiple languages and units of measure.

Previously, I played a pivotal role in the early development of Camplify, a booking platform for recreational vehicles. My contributions included leading technical efforts in growth-hacking and integrating the platform with CRM software. I have a solid foundation in web development technologies, including Rails, Postgres, and React, and I am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.
