Alejandro García Salas

I'm a software engineer and artist based in San Francisco, California.

I build product experiences with a focus on design, UX, and frontend engineering. By day, I help companies decarbonize at Watershed. Before that, I was a Founding Software Engineer at Muddy (formerly Sail), building a multiplayer web browser for teams. Earlier, I was a Senior Software Engineer at Airbnb, prototyping new search experiences.

I grew up in Lima, Perú and studied Computer Science at UC Berkeley, with a focus on human-computer interaction. During college, I interned at Airbnb and Pinterest, working on design systems and web infrastructure. In high school, I interned at Laboratoria, a nonprofit web development bootcamp in Latin America, and at Ayu, a digital agency in Lima. You can find my résumé and view my portfolio.

I got into programming by making my own video games, and I've been building ever since. Outside of work, I draw and paint, visit museums, watch documentaries, travel, and take very long walks.

I strive to live a life of adventure and service. I try to stay optimistic and seek balance and authenticity in everything I do. I want to do great things. Above all, I try to lead with love, and let it guide how I live and what I make.
