Hi!
I'm Taís, a software developer living in Berlin, Germany.

I'm interested in all aspects of crafting software, especially frontend applications that have been around for some time. I enjoy finding ways to modernize old patterns and simplify complex ones to improve performance and maintainability, and to ensure codebases can be accessible to contributors of all levels of experience.

You can reach me at hi@tais.dev.

If you don't mind the identity crisis between being Brazilian and being in tech, I'm also on Twitter.

And if you're here for professional reasons, you might be interested in these too: CV, LinkedIn and GitHub.
