History
I was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, on June 29, 1977. My parents moved to Puerto Rico, where I grew up until 2017. In 2000, I married my wife, and we had a son together in Puerto Rico before moving back to the United States in 2017 to advance my career as a UI/UX Designer. I began this journey by attending boot camps and obtaining online education certificates to enhance my skills. My career breakthrough came with Appgate, where I quickly rose to the position of Sr. UX Designer. This role was both exciting and challenging, requiring me to focus on strategic design, lead the creation of the Design Style Guide, and help develop the UX Roadmap for my team.
Personality
I am a lifelong learner, constantly immersing myself in the ever-expanding UI/UX design industry.
Passion
My passion for UI/UX design drives me to continually learn and grow. I aspire to become one of the leading UI/UX designers in Dallas, Texas, through continuous education and experience.
Education
I have spent the last ten years working as a Web and Graphic Designer, with a foundation in Web Design since 2002. I hold a BA in Biology and have two years of experience as an Adobe Web Specialist. I have completed courses on freeCodeCamp, SoloLearn, and Platzi (UX Design in 2019). In 2021, I completed a Full Stack Web Developer course with NuCamp Educational Bootcamp Online, covering Bootstrap, JavaScript, React, React Native, Redux, MongoDB, Express, and Node.js. I continue to take various courses in graphic design and UI/UX Design, and further my education in UX Research, CRO, and Data Visualizations.
Technology
I have extensive experience with CMS systems like Bootstrap and programming languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With nearly 20 years of experience in Web technologies and over six years as a UI/UX designer, I specialize in creating digital products and applications. The tools I use most frequently include Figma, Adobe XD, Adobe Illustrator, and Visual Studio Code.
