What I'm looking for

I seek remote or hybrid roles where I can lead front-end projects, collaborate with designers, modernize stacks, and build accessible, animated user experiences.

I am a Front-End Developer with 4+ years building performant, visually rich web applications using React and Next.js, and a background in motion graphics and illustration that strengthens my UI sensibility.

I have led front-end teams, modernised legacy stacks to TypeScript and serverless architectures, built component libraries in Storybook, and implemented WCAG accessibility standards while contributing to backend work with Node.js and PostgreSQL.

I deliver end-to-end projects — from technical planning and animated interactions to deployment — and collaborate closely with designers to translate creative vision into pixel-perfect, production-ready products.
