I’m a frontend developer who enjoys building responsive, accessible web apps and working closely with product owners, designers, engineers, and QA to ship high-quality software. I thrive in agile teams, value pair programming and code reviews, and am always looking for ways to improve performance and user experience. I stay curious about new technologies and love mentoring teammates to raise the bar for the entire product. Most recently I joined Epapa as a frontend developer, where I started building the Epapa AI-based learning app for natural sciences from scratch. I enjoy exploring trends in frontend tooling and applying them to real-world problems, while keeping a strong focus on maintainability, scalability, and clean UX.
