What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-driven, accessible web and app products that solve real user needs, with opportunities to improve user experience, collaborate across teams, and take products from ideas to production.

At BulaBooks, I build multilingual literacy game experiences used in real-world testing with 500+ users. I integrate AI models and APIs, create reusable React and TypeScript components, and redesigned user flows that increased engagement by up to 60%.

I've also delivered custom, responsive websites for small businesses through Upwork, taking projects from planning to deployment. I enjoy turning client needs into accessible, scalable web products and supporting communities through digital literacy coaching and tech-event volunteering.
