I'm a full stack developer with a strong frontend focus and 3+ years of professional experience building responsive, performant web applications. My core stack is React.js and TypeScript but I've worked across Angular, Vue.js, Next.js and Node.js on real production projects. I'm comfortable integrating RESTful APIs, working independently on remote projects and collaborating with backend engineers to ship complete features end to end. I've been freelancing on Upwork alongside full-time roles for a couple of years, which means async communication and taking full ownership of what I build comes naturally to me.
