About Me

Hi!

Hi! I’m Juan, a front-end developer based in Toronto and a proud graduate of Juno College of Technology. I have seen from first hand how a well thought and created app can have a huge impact in businesses and people which is why I am so passionate about creating things that help solve everyday people's problems.

I combine my experience in Business Administration and my production management background with my problem-solving skills to build unique, creative and useful applications that are responsive and accessible for all users. I consider myself as a self-motivated and curious learner that is always looking for better and new ways of doing things.

Besides coding I am very passionate about travelling and getting to know new places and cultures. I love spending time with my wife and my dog Simba and if I am not coding somewhere, I am probably playing videogames, at the movies with my wife or watching a Barcelona soccer game.

Lets connect!
