# Cecilia Widmer > Design and Innovation Masters degree and Computer Engineer at Adolfo Ibáñez University from Chile Location: Las Condes, Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile Profile: https://flows.cv/ceciliawidmer 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer working for US companies, specializing in frontend development (Vue, previously React) and REST API integration. Strong UX/UI focus with excellent communication and (soft) collaboration skills. Currently: Building workflow-heavy features for an automotive dealership platform that supports sales predictions. I collaborate on design and develop processes and REST API integrations, ensuring interfaces remain clear and trustworthy even with complex business logic. Beyond the UI, I work end-to-end: designing and consuming APIs (backend → frontend), debugging data contracts so the product behaves predictably across environments, and driving large data-model and database updates—adding new fields, evolving schemas, and keeping performance and backwards compatibility in mind. I also partner closely with design: implementing high-fidelity UI from Figma, preserving interaction details, spacing, and states so what ships matches the intended experience. I contribute UX feedback with an engineering lens—balancing usability, consistency, and maintainability so solutions are not only user-friendly, but practical to build and scale. I care deeply about reducing friction, making state obvious, and creating systems that feel calm to use—even when the real-world workflows behind them are anything but. I enjoy partnering with product, design, and engineering to ship polished, maintainable features where details and edge cases truly matter. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer and UX Designer Consultant @ CDK Global Jan 2024 – Present -As a Design Engineer Consultant, I lead new implementations from concept through deployment—first architecting UX designs that meet user needs with programming efficiency, then developing both front-end and back-end components to integrate AI- and machine-learning-driven features into our predictive car-sales platform. - Work as a Software Developer and UX Designer for the TTMI project, an AI chatbot powered by OpenAI and web technologies such as Node.js. - Contribute as a UX Designer to the creation and enhancement of modules for Predian software, now part of CDK. ### Frontend Developer @ Upworth Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 Frontend developer and UX designer at an Australian fintech startup specializing in money management platforms.
