About Me

Hello! I'm Alex, a software engineer based in San Francisco who enjoys building things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2015 when I decided to try building my first website — turns out, debugging CSS taught me a lot about persistence!

Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of working at a startup, a large corporation, and freelancing. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences for a variety of clients.

I'm passionate about clean code, elegant solutions, and continuous learning. When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open source, or enjoying a good cup of coffee.

Technologies I work with:

JavaScript (ES6+)
React / Next.js
TypeScript
Node.js
Python
PostgreSQL
MongoDB
AWS / Docker
