Frontend developer building responsive, accessible React/Next.js apps with clean, reusable code.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Frontend Developer with a Computer Science background, focused on building responsive, production-ready web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS. I care about reusable UI component architecture, mobile-first UX, and clean code—backed by practical experience integrating REST APIs and deploying with Git/GitHub and Vercel.
As a Freelance Frontend Developer in Istanbul, I built production-ready UIs for 2 client-facing projects with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, shipping on time. I created reusable mobile-first components (cards, modals, navigation, layout sections) to reduce duplicated frontend code, and deployed 3 production projects on Vercel using preview deployments and CI/CD workflows.
At LemanKültür, I maintained frontend development practice while working full-time in hospitality, continuing to deliver with React, Next.js, and TypeScript. Earlier, as a Remote Freelance Web Developer, I built and delivered 8–10 small-business websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, improving mobile usability and cross-browser compatibility through targeted audits and refactoring.
Before fully narrowing into frontend, I strengthened my foundation in database and web problem-solving as a Web Developer & Database Administrator, automating recurring SQL warehouse tasks and optimizing query efficiency. My internship work in the National Ministry of Education focused on redesigning an internal web service for 100+ daily users—skills I carry into client-facing delivery today, including projects like a multilingual LunaMenu (Sanity CMS + next-intl) and SkyCast (Weather API with accessible, responsive UI) with automated builds via GitHub Actions.
