About
Graphic designer by training.Software engineer by practice.
I’m Diego Dalairac, a software engineer with a background in graphic design. I started with visual and interactive experiences, went on to build end-to-end applications, and later specialized in frontend engineering and technical leadership.
I’m interested in the connection between what people need, how they experience a product, and how we build it. I co-founded Saltamonte, worked across product teams, and taught web design and motion graphics. Today, I bring those perspectives to my work and to personal projects such as Aporeva.
