At Independent / Upwork, I deliver UI/UX design and web development for startups, SaaS companies, and product teams. I take product work from UX discovery and wireframes through design systems and production-ready builds, using Next.js, React, and TypeScript.

Across 60+ client projects, I’ve delivered $100K+ of work and earned Top 3% talent recognition on Upwork. I also use AI-assisted workflows with OpenCode and OpenRouter to support implementation.

I founded and grew Teamup Agency to a 15-person team, generating $30K+ in annual revenue. I developed delivery workflows and quality standards, and returning clients accounted for 60%+ of revenue.

At Skilled, I designed UI/UX for 10+ digital products and ran discovery and usability reviews that caught 20+ issues early. Earlier, as a Frontend Developer at PT. Eratel Prima, I built and maintained production web modules and optimized page load times by roughly 25%.
