About Shaina

Design judgment.
Engineering follow-through.

7+ years across design and software, connecting people, systems, and technology.

Build, design, ship.

I'm Shaina Gonzales, a software engineer with a UX/UI background. I enjoy turning complicated workflows into clear, useful products—and staying involved from the first sketch through implementation.

My work spans enterprise applications, frontend development, API integration, SQL-backed workflows, dashboards, and AI-assisted tools. Design helps me understand the problem; engineering helps me carry the solution through.

I'm seeking full-stack, product engineering, and frontend roles where UX thinking is valued.
