Hi! My name is Alejandro

I'm a Software Developer with an inclination towards Front End development, living in Limón, Costa Rica. I'm currently working as a Front End Engineer at First Factory (check it out at firstfactory.com)

I am passionate about building clean, beautiful and efficient code, focusing on accessibility, best practices, great architecture, and always looking towards besting myself.

Services

The work I'm most interested in is the work I can build from the ground to the top, making sure the architecture and tech decisions are right for the job. I work best on creative projects and with open-minded people.

Languages and tools I use:

I love to learn and, therefore, I have explored a wide selection of areas of knowledge, both empirically and academically, ranging from Philosophy to Engineering. This has shaped me as a highly versatile person, as well as a very fast learner.
