@gespens
Junior Frontend Developer and designer bringing designer's eye to interactive web apps.
What I'm looking for
I am a junior frontend developer with a decade of professional graphic design and illustration experience, now building interactive web apps using React, modern JavaScript, and responsive design. I completed foundational web development coursework and am finishing the Scrimba Frontend Career Path while learning TypeScript and Advanced React patterns.
My projects include AI-powered and API-driven apps (Chef Claude, Quizzical, Tenzies) that emphasize accessibility, responsive UI, and polished UX. I blend design thinking with practical frontend skills—shipping well-styled, accessible components and thoughtful user flows backed by solid tooling like Git, Vite, and deployment to Netlify.
