What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values user-centered design and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Frontend Developer with 7 years of experience, including 5 years at Bank of Montreal, where I developed and maintained scalable, accessible UI components as part of the BMO Design System. My role involved collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver user-facing features that aligned with project goals and timelines. I take pride in my ability to translate wireframes into responsive, testable HTML prototypes, ensuring that all components adhere to WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded component development for pilot applications, improving functionality and user experience. I have a strong foundation in Angular and have recently expanded my skill set to include React and Next.js. My commitment to writing clean, testable code and maintaining detailed documentation has been pivotal in supporting consistent implementation and knowledge sharing across teams. I actively participate in design and code reviews, identifying and addressing UI/UX gaps early in the development process.
