What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a junior front-end role where I can grow in a collaborative team.

At AkiraChix, I built front-end interfaces and back-end functionality across collaborative software projects. I also conducted user research and translated identified problems into practical, user-focused solutions.

On Naifix, I built responsive dashboards in Next.js and TypeScript that visualize urban issue data as spatial patterns and trends for planners and local authorities. I defined user needs through UX research and translated them into reusable components and interface flows.

My work on FikaMarket included front-end features and back-end functionality for a marketplace connecting small-scale farmers with produce buyers. My urban planning background includes spatial analysis and field data collection, and I'm seeking a junior front-end role where I can grow in a collaborative team.
