Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex projects, such as the SMaHT Data Portal and CGAP marketing page, where I drove efficient collaboration and focused on high-impact features. My technical skills include JavaScript, React, and SCSS, and I have a proven track record of resolving technical challenges. I am passionate about creating intuitive user interfaces and enhancing user experiences through thoughtful design and development.
