About

I’m a Frontend Developer with 3 years of experience building modern, scalable applications. At Prodege LLC, I refactored and migrated legacy environments (JSP, Handlebars, Vanilla JS) into high-performance React and Next.js applications, improving SEO, accessibility, and overall performance.

What makes me stand out is being a strong team player: I thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy sharing knowledge, and continuously look for ways to improve efficiency. I also leverage AI tools like Cursor AI and ChatGPT to write cleaner, more efficient code and speed up development.

My technical skills cover React, JavaScript, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, SQL, HTML/JSX, CSS, and Java (JSP), with additional experience in GitHub, Jira, Slack, CI/CD, and REST API integration.
