Proud moment

When I joined Candor, it makes me proud to work in a product like this.

It motivated me to continue to learn more every day, and to be as much professional as I can be. Also it felt fantastic to have folks who I can learn from every day!

A fun fact about me is…

My mom convinced me to take a classical dance class when I was 15

She told me I'd become a millionaire because dance partners were scarce those days 😂

My Achilles Heel is…

CSS cross-browser optimization. I hate that there isn't a standard yet.

Get me a great frontend developer

Building an awesome culture at work is 10x more important than hitting goals. Anybody can copy a product with time and money, but great products are built by encouraged teams.

Building cool photo booths & apps using augmented reality and AI for the cruise and hospitality industry

Proud moment

Coordinated a remote team supporting the API, infrastructure & apps running in photo booths using windows, linux and android, processing millions of photos from cruises and hotels.🚢


I joined the startup when the founding team left. All the induction I got from the original founder was a 20 minutes phone call, for a product with over 5 years of development. The rest I had to figure out by myself 🤷‍♂️
