Engineering & Design in Mexico City, Hi/Him

Hi, I'm Javier Díaz, also known as coderdiaz. I'm a software engineer passionate about interface design and web experiences. I reside in Mexico City with my wife Becky and my dogs.

For a long time, I was working on training as an interface designer. Over +6 years ago, I decided to embark on a journey in the world of UX/UI, focusing on the development and design of user-centered web and mobile apps, and marketing sites.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

I also like to read books about Sci-Fi, digital products, and tech, among others. Occasionally, I record videos, create courses about web dev, and perform refactoring of the UI of products I use daily.

Happy to connect and let's work together 🧡
