About

I’m a Front-End Web Developer with over a decade of experience creating responsive, accessible, and high-performance interfaces. I specialize in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern frameworks like React and Svelte. My strong UI/UX background gives me an edge in turning complex ideas into intuitive, polished user experiences with pixel-perfect precision.

I work across the full end-to-end product lifecycle, from wireframes and prototypes to development, testing, optimization, and the technical foundations needed for SEO and analytics. I’m looking for a front-end role where I can combine technical depth and design expertise to help build interfaces that feel as good as they look.
