๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey, I'm Victor

I'm a design engineer, optimistic nihilist and lifelong learner.

I'm currently looking for my next chapter, somewhere I can combine frontend engineering with a deep appreciation for product craft. I love partnering closely with designers to push ideas further and turn them into polished, high-quality experiences, while also being comfortable making design decisions myself when it helps keep things moving and improves the UX.

Most recently, I was at FastAPI Labs, helping build FastAPI Cloud with the people behind FastAPI. I got to contribute to both the product and frontend, with plenty of autonomy to make design decisions and attention to the details that make developer tools feel great to use.

Earlier in my career, I was a product designer partnering with end users and product teams across startups, enterprises, and consulting firms.

Outside of work, you will likely find me at a metal show, wandering the wilderness with a camera, or getting lost in Hollow Knight Silksong.
