Hello! I'm
Andrés.

I'm a passionate developer from Costa Rica. I enjoy designing and building software that impacts our modern world and that is delivered to end users in the form of user friendly and performant UIs.

About Me

I'm a business graduate from Universidad de Costa Rica, with a technical degree in Software Engineering from Universidad Cenfotec.

I discovered software development 5 years ago, and I've been building apps as a hobby and professionally ever since.

Surfing, guitar and programming are the three things I enjoy the most, and one of my main goals is to exercise my passion for the latter by being part of enriching and impactful software projects.

Skills & Experience

I'm a software developer, focusing on web applications, using JavaScript as my main language.

On the front end side of things, I have experience utilizing modern frameworks such as Vue and React, with a variety of architectural approaches, styling and state management tools, and data fetching techniques.

As to server side code, my main experience lies in writing Node JS (in both JavaScript and TypeScript), and I've also had some exposure to Golang. I also have hands-on experience with testing (Jest, Enzyme, Mocha, React Testing Library), and database querying and design (SQL and MongoDB).
