01. About me

Hi there! My name is Cristina, and I'm a software engineer with a passion for creating innovative and efficient solutions. With more than 10 years of experience in the industry, I've developed a deep understanding of the latest technologies and best practices. I am dedicated to leveraging my technical expertise and problem-solving skills to drive innovation and create high-quality solutions. With experience in a variety of programming languages and a deep understanding of software development processes, I am committed to delivering top-notch products that meet the needs of both clients and end users. Whether working independently or as part of a team, I am always eager to take on new challenges and push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of software engineering.

02. My values

As a professional, kindness and resilience are my core values.
I believe in being kind to others and myself, by being friendly, generous, and considerate. I am willing to give honest feedback when it's helpful to the other person, and I celebrate and give attention to others. I strongly believe that kindness creates a great team spirit, improves me as a person, and makes me curious.
I also value resilience as a key attribute for processing and overcoming hardship. I recognize that everyone faces struggles and failures, and having a reason and drive to keep fighting and improving is essential. I am not afraid to ask for support from others, as I believe that no one can do everything alone or be the best at everything. These values shape my professional and personal life and guide me towards success.

03. Interests and hobbies

When I'm not hacking away at my keyboard like a mad scientist, you can find me indulging in a few of my favorite hobbies. I like to get my language fix by learning Spanish, so I can finally understand what those telenovelas are all about. I also love cooking like a good old Italian nonna, complete with hand gestures and loud exclamations of "mamma mia!". And let's not forget about the endless hours of Lego building with my son, which often leaves me with more questions than answers. To burn off all those carbs and keep my bod looking fresh, I enjoy swimming , yoga and taking walks to admire the breathtaking beauty of our planet Earth.
