I'm a UK-based junior front-end developer with five years of prior architecture experience. I love problem-solving and debugging, and I enjoy turning puzzles into polished, usable software. Since moving to the UK, I’ve built live websites for real clients, designed mobile apps in Figma, and completed courses in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Node.js, PHP, and UX Design. Architecture taught me to care about detail, visual thinking, and planning how different parts of a project fit together. I care about how things feel to use, not just whether they function. I work well both independently and in teams, learn quickly, and want to build things that people actually use. I’m currently learning Vue to expand my toolkit.
