Raphaela Do Amaral Gil

Having a background of 10+ years in quality control, chemistry, and customer support allowed me to gain a problem-solving mindset. Recently earned a certification as a Frontend Web Developer through edX and since my first ‘Hello World’, web development has been my passion. Dedicated 20+ hours per week of personal time developing my portfolio containing 17 projects built from the group-up primarily using JavaScript, React.js and Node.js. Powered by user-driven thinking and a keen eye for detail, I have taken the challenge to create an e-commerce website and I am currently focused on improving my UX/UI design and Next.js skills.
