Bio

I'm Julio and I make digital things. I specialize in web development, but I also have experience in UI design and game development. Whatever the job needs, I'll learn it.

In my most recent role as a design technologist, I worked closely with stakeholders to design, prototype, validate, and develop features for AWS services.
