What I'm looking for

I seek frontend roles focused on user-centered product development, performance optimization, collaborative teams, and opportunities to build maintainable, reusable component systems.

I am a frontend developer with three years of practical web development experience building responsive, user-focused websites and applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and Angular. I prioritize design accuracy and performance, having reduced page load times by 40% and improved user satisfaction through iterative design and Firebase data integration.

I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to create reusable components and maintainable codebases, increasing development efficiency by 20–50% through Angular directives and component-driven architecture. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science (Game Design) from UC Santa Cruz with a 3.86 GPA and am known for clean documentation, SEO-aware development, and delivering high-quality, accessible web solutions.
