Career Profile
I can talk with the same passion about skydiving than about how to analyze and decompose a complex problem into a simple architecture. I started coding when I was 11 years old, and gave my first conference talk on secure web applications development when I was 17.
I’m a strong advocate for code quality and better engineering practices, but capable of undertanding and influencing the business priorities, balancing the diverse trade-offs at different stages of a project.
I’m learning how to broaden my impact in the company by creating a strong team culture, improving the workflows and processes and finding ways to share my experience.
