Hey there, I'm Giovanni Aguirre
I'm a frontend engineer from El Salvador. Right now, I'm working at a leading telecom company, building and maintaining a UCaaS platform. I love digging into TypeScript and finding creative ways to solve problems and build awesome user experiences. I'm a huge fan of learning new things and taking on challenges—whether it's exploring new frameworks, improving my skills, or just figuring out how to make stuff work better.
