Profile

Full-stack developer with 4 years of experience, specialized in frontend with React and TypeScript. I was the frontend tech lead on a project for the Naturgy group and trained 3 junior developers. I have designed and built SaaS products end to end, with payments and third-party integrations. I work with AI-assisted development without giving up clean architecture or testing.
