About

Hii! This is Alejandra 😌

I am a freelancer (currently based in Barcelona, Spain) that relies on the idea of living this life doing what I love, learning and keeping myself abreast of my interests, taking challenges that make me grow up, professionally and personally, without geographical limitations.

When it comes to work, I take it seriously. I consider myself with an aesthetic sensibility and focused on details, organized, responsible with my commitments and schedule, fanatic of a clean and documented code aligned with the best practices, collaborative with every cross-functional task/stakeholder (mainly UX but also quality, management, support, data analytics, product, etc), familiarized at reporting status and to work with remote and distributed team members, open to share my knowledge with others and to receive feedback.

I valorize work-life balance, cool working environment and challenges. If I will spend many hours per day on a job, let's make it worth and have fun in the process.

In my current role at a small startup, I serve as the sole front-end developer within a team of approximately five members. Collaborating closely with one of the founders, I actively contribute to the design process by refining mockups to align with industry standards and enhance user understanding. I specialize in optimizing designs to seamlessly integrate with Material UI, a key UI library utilized in our projects. Leveraging React and TypeScript, I ensure the development of high-quality, user-centric interfaces. Within our dynamic environment, I excel in striking a balance between delivering top-notch quality, accommodating customization needs, and meeting tight project deadlines.

Throughout my tenure, I've had the opportunity to engage with various aspects of our application, including authentication, feature development, and a comprehensive redesign of the main layout encompassing elements such as the navbar and menu. Additionally, I've been instrumental in enhancing the user experience through the implementation of interactive dashboard charts, intuitive forms and wizards, dynamic grids, and refining account settings and subscription information.
