Hello, I'm Alex!
About Me
My skill set specializes in software design and front-end development with a human-centric approach. This includes multiple steps in the process of creating an application from research, UX/UI, application testing, to front end development.
I am committed to ensuring every project I touch has the nuance of a human-centric design.
Interests
I am a bit more than just a designer or developer. I am interested in staying updated with the newest trends and emerging technologies, such as AI, to integrete them in my ever-changing workflows. Beyond my technical skills, I am a musician, an artist, a board and card game fanatic, and a rock climber.
