About me

Hi yall, I'm Gavin!

Proudly representing the vibrant city of San Antonio, Texas, I bring with me the spirit of the Lone Star Stateā€”a blend of warmth, community, and innovation. My roots run deep, nurturing my passion for visual design and fostering a profound appreciation for diversity in the ever-evolving landscape of technology.

With a background rich in visual design and a track record of leadership, I've honed a unique skill set that merges charismatic leadership with empathetic teamwork. As a Front End Developer, I thrive at the intersection of visual design and technology, crafting digital experiences that captivate and engage users on a profound level.

Fueled by my Data Science certification with a focus on UX/UI design, I'm propelled by a deep-seated commitment to championing inclusivity and accessibility within the tech realm. As a proud Latino professional, I'm acutely aware of the importance of ensuring that digital experiences are accessible to all.

Let's connect and build a better digital world together for all!
