ABOUT

A journalist turned software developer

If you are on this page, you are probably wondering who am I. The TL;DR version is already in the title above, but keep reading if you are interested in the details.

I didn't arrive organically to coding, but rather with a series of circumstances: during my college studies I began to be interested in data journalism, a broad type of journalism which involves data analysis, visual representation of the data and interactive storytelling. Basically, a melting-pot of design, code and journalism.

As my career progressed, I noticed that I was less interested in the actual storytelling, but rather much more into the technology. I started learning Python to do some scraping, understanding how the web works, using D3 for data visualization to get into the world of Javascript.

I have been coding full time for two years now, working mostly with JS/TS on the frontend (Vue.js) and backend (Node.js). I worked for companies ranging from the retail sector to the industrial IoT one. It made me appreciate more how deep the computer science rabbit hole is, teaching me to get to the bone of problems and learn as much as possible on the go.
