๐ Hey, I'm Victor
I'm a frontend engineer, optimistic nihilist and lifelong learner.
I currently work at Tailwarden, where I ship core features with my team using Next.js, React, and Typescript to help companies have more visibility into costs and usage from their cloud infrastructure.
Before that, I was an experienced product designer working closely with end users and product teams in all kinds of setups: startups, scaleups, enterprises, consulting.
My main goal today is pairing my UX and product background with frontend to craft exceptional and technically robust products.
Outside work, you will find me at metal concerts, hiking for landscape photography, or playing games.

Worked together at Tailwarden
โVictor is super quick to understand new concepts, and it was a real pleasure working with him on new features and introducing new tools and libraries to make our Frontend more sophisticated. He is open to new ideas and improvements, and thinks critically about new features. His product design background is a super-power when it comes to Frontend development, because he constantly thinks about the UX and the big picture of the whole product. I got to know him as a very pro-active engineer, eager to learn and seeking feedback from his peers. In short, if you're in need of a skilled frontend engineer, you can't go wrong with Victor :)โ

Senior Software Engineer Consultant
Worked together at Gitshowcase, Timelinely & Peerfect
โI had the privilege to have Victor as my co-founder on two projects, Gitshowcase and Peerfect, and to watch him grow as he transitions from design to software engineering. Victor's eagerness to build high-quality products is remarkable and shows in everything he creates. His experience as a designer has given him a critical skill that few people have - the knowledge of how web products get implemented and their limitations combined with the vision to know what the designer and the product team aim to achieve. That is an indispensable layer of intelligence that improves any team's chance of success. As a professional, Victor is very forthcoming - he's kind but will let you know if something is not working out as expected. The courage to tell the truth, even if it's not a popular opinion while being compassionate about the situation tremendously contributes to the conversation and helps drive the product forward meaningfully to customers and his team. I highly recommend Victor to anyone looking for a talented product engineer with a keen eye for top-notch products.โ
