My Education
My journey into UX was unconventional—it felt backwards, or as I like to say, "I
was reverse engineering it." I began studying networking and telecommunications at Galileo University but
was more drawn to web development. This led me to learn full-stack development with Ruby on Rails and
explore React, bridging design and development. My passion for user-centered experiences grew, and I
earned the Google UX Design Professional Certificate. Now, as I pursue my MSc in Computer Science, I'm
combining my technical and design skills to push my work further.

Bachelor in Telecommunications (3rd year drop-out)
I studied telecommunications with a focus on networking but left in my
third year as I was more interested in fields with visual feedback, like web development and design,
which led to my passion for UX and front-end development.

motivated me to prove otherwise. Through this course, I learned full-stack web development, including
building dynamic web applications with Ruby on Rails, and it sparked my journey into coding and
front-end development.
