I have over seven years of experience in frontend development and product design. I also cofounded a code hosting and collaboration platform called Lubeno with my partner.
The most interesting problems are not just technical but also in how design can be translated into a real product, and that's why I like to work with both. Because I build what I design, my work tends to arrive already grounded in what's feasible. I am part of the whole process, from idea to implementation.
My work is driven by curiosity, empathy, and a genuine desire to make technology more inclusive and human. I'm especially passionate about advocating for workplace equality for women and creating products that help foster that mission. Integrity, courage, and empathy guide everything I build.
A fresh take on submitting, reviewing and iterating on pull requests, built for the era of AI-generated code. This is my current ongoing work, and we have over 200 users that host code with us today.

A mobile app designed as part of the Google UX Design Course. This is a fictional Italian restaurant, but the journey included wireframes, real user interviews, usability testing, lo and hi-fi prototypes.
Read the case study →I start from a real, lived problem and validate it outward, first with public research, then launching a minimum viable product to get direct user feedback. Each stage validates the next, and it's an iterative process.
Changes based on feedback
I led a product delivery inside a larger organisation after specialists from other teams and I came up with a prototype from a design sprint. This prototype was tested with five users, which validated some of our assumptions and helped us improve other parts of the prototype. I owned the project end-to-end for three months, and my work included task prioritisation and delegation, managing stakeholder expectations, launching the product and presenting to the rest of the company.
