My love for languages has taken me to explore other paths throughout my career, which is why by
the end of 2019 I decided to become a front-end developer, currently working on HTML, CSS
(Bootstrap and TailwindCSS) and JavaScript.

I'm looking forward to working with an open-minded, diverse team, where I can work with the tools
I've mastered throughout my path, and most importantly, to continue learning and expanding my
experience in front-end development.
