Alejandro García Salas

I make software and art. I live in San Francisco, California.

Now

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.

Before

I grew up in Lima, Perú, and taught myself to code by making little games for my iPod Touch 4, drawing all the art myself. In high school, I interned at Laboratoria, a nonprofit bootcamp in Latin America, and Ayu, a digital agency in Lima. From there I came to study Computer Science at UC Berkeley, focusing on human-computer interaction, and interned at Airbnb and Pinterest, working on design systems and web infrastructure. You can find my résumé and view some projects I've worked on.

Elsewhere

The rest of the time I like to draw, wander through museums, travel, and take long walks to think.

I strive to live a life of adventure and service.  I want to do great things.
