What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to develop my skills.

I am a front-end software engineer with hands-on experience in JavaScript, React, TypeScript, and modern frameworks. My journey began with a strong foundation in hospitality management and entrepreneurship, where I honed my leadership and problem-solving skills. I thrive in fast-paced environments, leveraging my unique perspective and adaptability to drive results.

At Coding Temple, I developed dynamic web applications, focusing on responsive user interfaces and seamless user experiences. My projects, such as Funky Finds, showcase my ability to build full-featured applications independently, integrating robust tech solutions aligned with business needs. I am passionate about continuous learning and collaboration, actively participating in agile environments to enhance team performance.
