What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dynamic team where I can build production-ready web apps, turn Figma into accessible UX, and collaborate on API-driven, scalable architecture—while continuing to learn and take on new challenges.

I’m a fast-learning computer science student and software engineer focused on building production-grade web experiences. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy translating product intent into responsive, accessible interfaces.

Since 10/2025, I’ve worked as a Frontend Engineer at Always49, developing reusable UI component systems and shipping Next.js + TypeScript applications. I integrate REST APIs, collaborate with backend engineers to optimize data flow, and improve performance using code splitting and lazy loading.

From 10/2022 to 09/2025, I built and maintained features for an education platform at UniSkills, including a real-time chat system using React, WebSockets, and Styled Components. I also led a Laravel to Next.js migration, aiming for better performance and UX while working closely with backend developers to integrate APIs efficiently.

I expand my engineering mindset through projects like Continuum, where I designed modular docs-as-code pipelines and implemented AI-powered summarization and root-cause classification, plus semantic search using vector embeddings. With Sentra, I built automated checks for CI/CD, security practices, and environment configuration, turning analysis into a production-readiness index.
