Hola ✨ I’m Mus, a Software Engineer who builds elegant interfaces and meaningful tools for the web.

I’m passionate about product and love measuring my work by the impact it has on users and teams. I also enjoy leading and coaching my teammates — because great products come from great collaboration.

Hola ✨ I’m Mus, a Frontend Engineer at Platzi with over 10 years of experience crafting modern web apps.

I bring creativity, speed, and structure to every project — and I thrive in product-focused teams. I’m currently building AI-powered tools. I care deeply about user experience, performance, and learning — and I thrive when I can mix design, code, and storytelling.

Hola ✨ I’m Mus, and I love to share what I learn.

Whether it's through talks, challenges, or open source, I'm always open to collaborations that inspire and teach. I've spoken at conferences, led workshops, and created educational content. Let's build something cool together.

About

Hey, I'm Mariangélica Useche -also known as Mus- a Venezuelan living in Bogotá with a curious mind and passion for building things that matter. I care about good UI, delightful interactions, and writing code people can understand. I've taught thousands of students, launched side projects just for fun, and helped ship features used by millions. I love sharing what I learn, and I'm always exploring what's next — right now that means AI integration tools.
