I build React and React Native features for rideshare apps and independent full-stack projects.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm building and shipping features for HaciGroup's rideshare apps, including multilingual support, Rider account management, Driver audio notifications, and fixes for React Native rendering issues. I've also improved the web app's SEO through metadata, sitemap, robots.txt, and external-link handling.
I independently design and build full-stack projects, including my creative portfolio and apps using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, MapBox, and Material UI. My background in photography, music, and psychology shapes a clean, minimalist, user-centered approach to interface design.
