Contributing to a better Web

I am a full time software engineer and infrastructure manager with a background in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I entered software development in 2014. To date, I have delivered great Web, mobile and desktop experiences using a number of technologies and platforms including: React, Vue, Node.js, Electron, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Django, Cordova, Bootstrap, WordPress, React Native and Hugo. My main languages are JavaScript, CSS, HTML and Python . During my free time, I teach people tech and make websites and apps at Elevatika or write about anything interesting in my line of work.
