What I'm looking for

I seek a junior front-end role where I can contribute to user-focused web projects, learn from senior engineers, and grow my React and JavaScript expertise in a collaborative, feedback-driven culture.

I am a disciplined, curious front-end developer with formal training (RNCP Level 5) and two years of professional mentorship in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I have built projects including animated mockup conversions, an e-commerce site, SEO optimizations and React web applications, and I work well both autonomously and in teams.

I bring prior professional experience as a journalist and language teacher, which sharpened my communication, attention to detail and storytelling skills. I am eager to contribute as a junior front-end developer, receptive to feedback, and committed to continuous improvement and producing high-quality, accessible user experiences.
