Frontend developer specialized in building accessible, responsive, and maintainable web interfaces. I work with React, React Router, HTML, CSS/Sass, and modern tooling such as Vite to create clean, user-focused experiences. I enjoy transforming complex content into clear, usable interfaces that prioritize accessibility, performance, and clarity. I also bring a strong background in content strategy and editorial workflows, having led nonprofit website projects and cross-functional teams. This allows me to collaborate effectively with designers, content creators, and stakeholders, and to approach frontend development with a strong user and product mindset. I thrive in remote, collaborative environments and enjoy working on design systems, UI/UX improvements, and front-end workflows that are easy to maintain and scale.
