About my latest work

Im currently part of the team that implements and maintains all new pages on
Avenida.com, a localized Argentinian version of Amazon.
I work with designers, UX and UI, along with Product managers to help design
and finally architect and develop the site. Along with the team we choose the
front-end stack (Currently using React on highly responsive pages), ES6 and
Redux.

Some of the most important challenges I solve are performance and accessibility,
since our customer base has a wide demographic.
I am from Argentina, and I speak fluent english. Worked with US clients in the
past, and I am fully willing to relocate.

Why Airbnb should hire me

I have ample experience working on accessible, modern web stacks that serve to
a large amount of traffic. I can be productive in Airbnbs bootstrap react setup
quickly and tackle UI/UX requirements quickly in an environment as competitive
and innovative as Airbnb.
