About me

I'm Steven Hirzfeld, although my last name may be a challenge at first, working with me won't be at all 😊. I'm a self-taught and independent professional with a great passion for development and creative problem solving.

My specialization as a Full-Stack Developer focuses on creating robust and adaptable software for production environments, using tools like Javascript (React, NextJS, Node) and Python (Django, Rest Framework), backed by databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL.

With great accuracy and soft skills (ENFJ), I firmly believe that knowledge gives us freedom. That's why, not only do I dedicate myself to software development, but I also reserve time to cultivate new learnings, whether it's playing the piano, practicing sports, or reading a good book.
