With over a decade of experience in web development, I bring the rare combination of deep technical expertise and refined design sensibility. My journey began 15+ years ago crafting websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since then, I’ve spent the last 10 years mastering React, and the past 6 years building fast, scalable, and beautifully designed web apps using Next.js and TypeScript. On the backend, I'm equally at home architecting APIs with Node.js or building automation and data-driven services in Python. I also have extensive experience in eCommerce development, particularly with Shopify and modern CMS platforms, where I enjoy creating high-converting, pixel-perfect storefronts that blend performance with design. What sets me apart? I hold bachelor’s degrees in both Computer Science and Graphic Arts, giving me a unique edge in building intuitive user interfaces that look as good as they work. I'm passionate about clean code, seamless UX, and building digital experiences that stand out.
