What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles where I can combine brand design and MERN development to build user-centered digital products, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow technically.

I am a creative Brand Designer and MERN Stack Developer with hands-on experience building visually compelling brand systems and scalable, user-focused web applications. I trained at PluralcodeAcademy and contributed to real-world product development during a cross-functional internship at Cadna.

At Cadna I helped develop Exam Genius, a multitenant MERN application, owning the authentication flow and instructor dashboard while collaborating with product managers, designers, analysts, and developers to translate requirements into functional interfaces.

As a freelance Brand Designer and Web Developer since 2020, I have designed full brand identity systems, marketing assets, and built responsive MERN applications focused on performance, usability, and maintainable code. I am open to internships, junior roles, contract, and full-time opportunities.
