About
A passionate Software Engineer with a deep love for Apple platforms and creating great mobile experiences.
Currently working in the Travel Industry, developing apps that contribute to someone’s journey around the world every day. Known for being proactive, reliable, and timely, I also focus on optimizing processes and data analysis. My strong soft skills make me an effective facilitator in meetings, guiding the team and turning ideas into plans.
When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me hiking up a mountain, catching flights for my next adventure, or singing Taylor Swift.
