I have been developing software for more than 10 years,

In my career I have touch different stacks from mobile apps to pure frontend, always trying to learn what's needed for the project and the team I've been working on. My philosophy is to create quality software in a good environment, respecting and helping colleagues and trying to build the best team possible.

I like the challenges and prefer them to remain stuck doing always same things in your comfort zone. I like the most taking care of providing a good interface for the final user, being a client from a website or an internal employee.

I like to have performant pages that loads easily in all the devices, giving accessibility to them to everyone being able to use them no matter the physical problems or device limitations that could appear.

Currently I’m the tech lead of the team that owns the homepage and static pages of the zooplus site. We use a stack with React , Next.js and Typescript. We have some apis written in Node.js using AWS lambdas and Serverless that provide all the information set up from editors in a headless CMS to api consumers. This year we had to execute a big migration to transform previous component templates written in Handlebars and convert them to React components. The project is critical for the site because of the financial implications of having a performant main landing page (core-web-vitals) and fast-updated banners and pages paid by the suppliers and internal promotions. Previously I worked in a project that provided an internal tool to create an visualize all the campaigns running in the company. This tool used VUE with Typescript as main framework. There were complex forms and visualizations to build and test, working also in the UX/UI design to provide a good workflow for the users. In my first project for the company I work mainly in a backoffice built using Angular.
Before joining my current company, apart from frontend development with the usual stack that was used back in the days also worked coding hybrid and native Android and iOS apps.

I have a science of computing degree.
