Hi, I’m Karina, a London-based full-stack web developer who loves turning complex ideas into clean, fast, accessible web experiences. I blend hands-on coding with UX thinking to build sites that look great, perform well, and serve real users. My toolkit includes WordPress and Elementor for rapid, scalable websites, along with HTML/CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL for robust custom features. I also enjoy data science and Python-based experimentation to inform decisions and optimize performance. Beyond coding, I’m passionate about clean design, accessibility (WCAG), SEO, and collaborating with clients to shape engaging digital products. In my free time I enjoy chess, visiting art exhibitions, walking my dog, and traveling.
