LEONELA

FULL STACK DEVELOPER

Self-taught and full of ambition. First generation citizen with an aptitude for languages -- programming and otherwise. Despite limited access growing up, I have long-standing enthusiasm for technology and design. (Shoutout to the invaluable public library system.) Consequently, the novelty remains and my curiosity deepens.

Every skill and experience I've accumulated thus far strengthens me as a creative, well-rounded developer (and in general, as a human being) with unique perspectives and contributions to make and an open disposition receptive to growth and criticism. I have excellent interpersonal skills under pressure and work well in both individual and collaborative environments.

Feel free to say hello / hola / bonjour!
