More about me
My tech journey
My journey in tech began with a love for Flash/ActionScript, where I could blend creativity and logic. But as Flash lost its popularity with the iPhone, I transitioned into e-commerce technologies. This shift taught me the ins and outs of various frameworks and the complexities of e-commerce, from warehouse logistics and inventory management to CMS, client relationships, SEO, and marketing.
Eventually, I found a new passion in React, which drew me into the front-end world and technologies like Tailwind and Next.js. After gaining deeper expertise in React and contributing to a full e-commerce application, I ventured into the financial industry, where I got to explore different types of data. It was during this time that I realized my true strength lies in the whole circle of the product —crafting and refining user experiences and interactions.
Recently, I earned a UX certification from eCornell, exploring and improving my skills in Figma, prototyping, user research, and diving into the world of AI. I'm excited about the future and eager to help build products that define the AI era.
