Hello, I'm Oiza.

I'm a Front-end Engineer based in Toronto.

JavaScript is my Jam

For two years, I have written code in modern ES6, React and Redux for startups. I've also written unit and integration tests in Jest, Enzyme and React Testing Library, and also worked with Gatsby and GraphQL. As of 2022, I began studying computer science through the University of Pennyslvania

Front-end savvy

I enjoy making the web look great, responsive and accessible. I took the time to learn concepts like web typography (thanks to Matej Latin) and basic design principles to tune up this website (built mobile-first) in 2020, and to help me work better with designers and product managers.

A global perspective

I think my lifelong exposure to diverse cultures, through living & working in three other countries before moving to Canada, makes me a uniquely well-rounded developer. You'll often find me at tech events & gatherings in my city, and avidly consuming news and debates on the latest practices and happenings in software development.
