Hi, I am Jade Cohen, a freelance web developer and QA specialist focused on building fast, accessible websites. I work directly with clients to translate briefs into clean, high-performance front-ends using React and JavaScript, delivering robust results from brief to launch. I bring a rigorous QA discipline to every project, including accessibility checks and cross-browser testing, ensuring the end product holds up in the real world. Over the past four years in Tel Aviv, I’ve progressed from a JavaScript developer to a Web Accessibility Specialist and QA engineer. I enjoy turning edge-case findings into practical fixes and building internal tooling that speeds up delivery without sacrificing quality. When I am not shipping features, I collaborate with teams to raise accessibility standards and improve end-user experiences.
