David Bautista

Senior Software Engineer

I'm a Software Engineer and Product Engineer with over 7 years of experience in Full-Stack development and more than 3 years leading Front-End teams. I'm passionate about building high-quality, accessible user interfaces that prioritize performance.

My stack is HTML/CSS, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, React, React Native, GSAP, Node.Js, and a bit of Scala. My expertise spans the full stack: from databases, micro-services architecture, to responsive front-end complex applications.

I'm a lifelong learner, currently pursuing a Master's in Software Engineering. I love tackling challenges, mentoring teams, and leading projects to success.

I am a problem solver, and I love to be one.I am a mentor, and I love to be one.I am a leader, and I love to be one.I am a team player, and I love to be one.I am a Software/Product Engineer, and I love to be one.

Still reading? When I'm not coding, I'm probably learning a new tech stack over a weekend, or learning how to play guitar.

Peace ✌️
