About Me
I am a full stack developer with a passion for creating beautiful and functional applications. I have experience in both frontend and backend development, and I am always looking to learn new technologies. Since the beginning of my career I have chosen a path that has required to me learn in and adapt in high demand environments. I am currently working as a Backend Engineer with Chek Financial, a fintech startup based in Miami, Fl.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy riding my bike, hiking with my partner and dog, having faith in the Chicago Bears, and playing videos games.
