What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that combines my technical skills with my business insights, focusing on product growth and enhancing user experience.

As a Frontend Developer with approximately two years of hands-on experience using React, JavaScript (ES6+), and Tailwind CSS, I have a unique blend of technical skills and business acumen. My background in leading sales teams and commercial operations for over eight years allows me to translate complex business requirements into intuitive and scalable digital solutions. I excel in creating user-friendly interfaces that not only meet client expectations but also drive product growth.

In my recent freelance roles, I have successfully maintained and enhanced React interfaces for local businesses, ensuring seamless user experiences through effective collaboration with clients. My strategic training enables me to understand how each line of code impacts company objectives, allowing me to provide valuable insights and clear communication with stakeholders. I am eager to leverage my technical skills and business insights in a role that enhances user experience and drives product success.
