I'm Emilio Taffarel, a frontend developer who builds accessible, responsive interfaces using Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS for international web applications. I collaborate closely with backend teams (Node.js / Nest.js) to integrate scalable RESTful APIs, and I spearhead reusable design-system initiatives that reduce development time by about 30%. I also enjoy crafting interactive 3D components with Three.js to boost engagement across client platforms. Before transitioning to development, I spent years in film making, video editing, and sound direction at Fobos and Pinea Films, producing content for private and state clients with recognition at international festivals. This experience sharpened my eye for detail, storytelling, and collaborative workflows, which I now bring to frontend projects.
