User first
in every line of code
Hi there! I'm Cristina, a full-stack developer who believes that great software is born from the perfect blend of technical excellence and creative thinking. My journey in tech started with curiosity and has evolved into a passion for building applications that make a real difference.
I specialize in modern web technologies, with a particular love for React, Next.js, and TypeScript. But beyond the code, I'm fascinated by the human side of technology—how we can create interfaces that feel intuitive, experiences that delight, and solutions that truly solve problems.
What truly drives my work are the values of inclusivity, collaboration, and mutual support. I prioritize accessibility in everything I build, implementing standards and tools to ensure digital experiences are welcoming to everyone.
I'm particularly passionate about solving problems for neurodivergent people and working with companies whose missions align with actively helping communities, especially minorities, because technology should be a force for positive change.
