Profile: https://flows.cv/sashalacosta

I'm a passionate Software Engineer with experience building robust, scalable applications. I specialize in developing new features and improving legacy systems that enhance user experiences and drive customer satisfaction.

Throughout my career, I’ve honed my skills in languages like JavaScript, Node.js, Kotlin, and Java, as well as frameworks such as React, Angular, and Spring Boot. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can apply my problem-solving mindset and passion to tackling complex challenges and delivering high-quality solutions.

I’m constantly seeking opportunities to grow, both technically and personally, and I’m always excited to contribute to projects that have a positive impact.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me traveling the world — I believe in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and enjoy staying up-to-date with emerging trends in technology.
