Who is Nicolas Hera?
A Bit About Me
I'm passionate about tackling complex problems and creating exceptional and memorable digital experiences.
As I've grown as a developer, I've contributed to projects and worked with other developers to create and maintain working applications while writting code that is maintainable and easy to understand.
Through my studies, I've gained a solid understanding of both web development concepts as well as back-end algorithms, and have dedicated a lot of time to apply these concepts to real-world scenarios and applications.
When I'm not building, learning or exploring new ideas to make things better, you can catch me either conducting 🎶 or watching football matches ⚽.
