UX Designer with Development Skills

Hi there, I'm Gabriel, a former UX dev who wanted to make a bigger impact on the product side, before the ball was already set into motion. I'm happier here! Taking on UX design with development chops is a blast, as it lets me control the granularity of the UX I want to describe depending on the situation, not to mention getting to collaborate with a lot of interesting folks. I can as easily whip up a prototype of a user flow in Figma, as a component interaction in Codepen. I could do a pure UX design/research, or a pure UI development role, if a company would see a path forward to a more hybrid role over time. Above all else I enjoy contributing and making an impact.
