Profile: https://flows.cv/cheryljfernandes

I'm a UI Developer and Software Engineer with experience building responsive, accessible, and user-friendly interfaces for web and mobile platforms. I am drawn to how users interact with devices. I like to figure out the best way to present information and make interactions easy. Discussions with stakeholders and customer support and usability tests to identify pain points in the product.  Experience in industries like healthcare, education, ERP, and security, combining deep front-end expertise (React, Angular, HTML/CSS, JavaScript) with backend integrations, accessibility standards (WCAG, HIPAA), and scalable design systems.

Recently, I’ve expanded into AI/ML with a focus on NLP. Training data to fit into a model so that it can be used with algorithms. I have completed Stanford’s Deep Learning for NLP and contribute to LLM training projects. I’m passionate about usability, performance, and empowering teams through clean, maintainable code. Always learning, always building.
