Hi, I'm Daniel Zamorano

I'm a skilled software engineer with passion for software and problem-solving .

I have experience leading projects and collaborating effectively with both local and multicultural teams, on-site and remotely.

I have worked on many projects, taking on multiple roles and working with various technologies sometimes in backend, frontend, databases, or infrastructure.

I enjoy working on the frontend, but as a full-stack engineer, I like to contribute wherever I can add the most value.
