A byte/8 about me
I began my professional journey as a designer, but it didn't take long for me to realize that programming was my true passion. I still enjoy experimenting with design tools and I can't help but dive into the source code of any SVG that crosses my path.
JavaScript is my preferred language, and I use it for most of my programming tasks. I'm particularly interested in performance, optimization and exploring how to make systems run more efficiently.
Im a hacker and tinkerer at heart and love to spend my time learning and problem-solving. My experience also extends beyond frontend development to backend technologies, search engine optimization, server configuration, network setup, 3D modeling, and 3D printing, to name a few.
Currently, I work as a Frontend Tech Lead at Productive, where I'm part of a financial product team. Productive is a platform that helps agencies manage their operations, covering project management, time tracking, invoicing, CRM, resource planning, and reporting. My work revolves heavily around Ember.js on the frontend.
Outside of work, I find joy in:
- Spending time with my family
- 3D modelling and printing
- Watching MMA
- Playing Defense of the Ancients 2
