Hi, my name is Gonzalo Gorgojo 👋

I'm a Software Developer who loves building software that solves real problems. Over the past six years, I've had the opportunity to do just that, designing and building scalable, high-performance apps and seeing them through from the initial idea to a live product. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new technologies and staying active through sports.
