My Background

With my Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology, I have developed a strong foundation in software development and gained valuable insights into the world of IT.

However, UX design has my heart. I'm fascinated by the relationship between people and tech, and I'm all about bringing some human touch to the IT world. Being a natural problem solver, creativity and determination drive my approach to challenges.

As a programmer turned UX enthusiast, I bring a unique twist to UX design. 
I'm on a mission to blend my tech know-how with a love for design and user experience. I understand the complexities of software development while keeping the end-user in mind. It's not just about making things work; it's about crafting solutions that are innovative and user-centric. 

Effective messaging is my love language. One of my strengths is turning complex ideas into simple messages to suit specific audiences to ensure that my communication is not only appropriate, but also easily understandable.

In a collaborative environment, I highly value my teammates who share the same commitment to excellence and take genuine interest in their work. I am not just a contributor, but a team player who takes joy in achieving goals together. Kindness is a fundamental aspect of my interactions, fostering a positive and collaborative working environment.
