Full Stack Sr. developer

Physicist engineer

Hello World 👋🏻 !

I’m Julián Medina, a physicist engineer with a deep passion for programming and graphic design. I have been engaged in web development as full stack developer for over 5 years and have been coding for at least 11 years.
My expertise in coding and graphic design enables me to create user interfaces that are not only elegant and responsive but also user-friendly and intuitive.
I am also deeply fascinated by microcontroller electronics, PCB design, firmware development, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
My dual expertise in firmware and web development streamlines the implementation of IoT solutions. Writing firmware in low-level languages has honed my skills in crafting clean code and applying sound architectural principles in high-level languages.
