My Work?

I do

EVERYTHING.

Well.. not everything, but it's a lot of things

UX research and design

Contextual Inquiries, Usability tests, Interviews, Surveys, Personas, Wireframes and Prototypes, I use several tools and methods to understand the user pain points and improve their experience.

Full-stack developer

Python, Java, C++? ✓
‍HTML, CSS, JavaScript? ✓
‍Android and iOS apps? ✓​
From databases, backend and frontend coding, to cloud deployment and native and hybrid mobile apps, working as a full-stack developer I've done it all.

Electronics and IoT

I've worked with Arduino and Raspberry Pi to create some interesting devices and innovative solutions. Because user experience does not need to be limited to softwares and apps.

One thing about my work?

It'll always be

Interesting!
