My Story

  • My first real exposure to tech came during an internship, where I worked on web scraping for a data analytics company that provided economic insights to paid subscribers


  • I was fascinated by the idea that a business product could be entirely digital. That moment sparked my interest in tech, and I began paying attention.


  • I realized I was more interested in web applications than mobile apps because it’s easier to share and access web apps, just a simple link. That insight led me to enroll in a software engineering bootcamp focused on building web applications.


  • After completing the bootcamp, we were encouraged to choose a path, frontend or backend. I’ve always been a visual thinker, and with React gaining popularity at the time, I decided to focus on becoming a frontend engineer.


  • Fast forward to today, I’ve worked as a frontend engineer at four companies, with the most notable being Clarifai, and I’m now diving into backend within the Node ecosystem.
    I'm also actively seeking my next role!
