Summary

I’m an iOS Developer at the Apple Developer Academy, where I focus on building smooth, user-friendly mobile apps. Coding is my main strength, but I’ve also gained experience in project management and UI/UX design, which allows me to approach each project from a well-rounded perspective. I love working in teams, and I take initiative in leading projects to ensure we stay on track and hit our goals.

I’m all about clear communication and making sure everything—from design to development—aligns with the bigger picture. Always looking to learn and grow, I’m excited about the chance to join the Renaissance program, level up my coding and leadership skills, and contribute to a team that’s passionate about pushing boundaries.
