What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that challenges me and allows for continuous learning, within a team that values collaboration and innovation.

I'm a frontend developer with a strong foundation in React, TypeScript, and modern UI tools like Tailwind CSS. My experience includes working on real production apps, where I've connected to live APIs and built features for an EdTech platform. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with designers and engineers to transform Figma designs into functional, tested components.

Throughout my career, I've focused on clean code and effective communication. I enjoy tackling complex problems, breaking down large components into manageable pieces, and using custom hooks to streamline logic and state management. My commitment to quality is reflected in my approach to testing, where I prioritize real user flows over mere coverage. I'm eager to continue learning and growing within a team that values ownership and meaningful contributions.
