Hello! Nice to see you dropping by my website to find out more about me.
I am a Frontend Engineer with 4 years of experience in web development, mostly using the Angular framework, preceded by 6 years as a QA Engineer.
My QA background has given me a keen eye for detail, and the ability to easily find edge cases to deliver high-quality, well-tested code that will not break the moment the user goes off the happy path.
I have experience working under Scrum and Kanban methodologies in projects with complex architectures and large user bases. I have contributed to both, internal and external web applications, ensuring that applications are maintained to a high standard with reusability, scalability and quality in mind.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various team structures and development team sizes, one thing always stays the same - the requirements will change as the deadline approaches.
