Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTales Chaves is a Senior UI Engineer based in San Diego with 10 years of experience building scalable, user-focused web applications and microservices for companies like Netflix and HP.

Outside of work he balances an active life—running, yoga and hiking—and brings that same curiosity and stamina to challenging product problems.
