About

I have over 10 years of industry experience in software engineering, with a special focus on UI/UX of web and mobile products. I'm very passionate about user experience, and making UIs pixel perfect is always my goal. I've worked along with designers, product managers, and other stakeholders to improve the quality of a product and I firmly believe that teamwork is key to a product's success.

In my spare time besides personal activities, I like to create new things and explore/improve other tools/technologies I'm not familiar with. For examples go to https://github.com/rmonzon.

JavaScript (es5/es6), ReactJS, Redux, HTML5, CSS3, SASS/LESS, RESTful APIs, AngularJS, Backbone.js, Jquery, Bootstrap, AWS S3, Firebase, Heroku, Ionic Framework, Cordova/PhoneGap, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Git, Ava, Enzyme.
