About Me

I've been in tech for over 10 years, mostly in QA but always with one foot in development. I like knowing how things are built, not just whether they break. Most of my QA work has been on high-traffic platforms. Artist websites, mobile apps, e-commerce flows used by real people at scale. On the dev side I build client websites in React, handle deployment, and do more backend work than my job title usually suggests. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, fluent in Portuguese. I work well in cross-functional teams and I'm used to moving fast without cutting corners on quality.
