What I'm looking for

I seek front-end or full-stack roles where I can build scalable web and mobile apps, work with cross-functional teams, learn cutting-edge technologies, and grow into senior engineering responsibilities.

I am a proficient Front-End Developer with hands-on experience designing, building, and maintaining high-performance web applications using React.js, Next.js, and TypeScript. I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to translate complex product requirements into user-friendly UI/UX designs.

During my internship at Chumz.io I contributed to SaaS application design and prototyping, developed mobile applications with responsive, performant interfaces for Android and iOS, and helped build scalable front-end architecture for modern web apps.

I have led front-end work on projects such as a Writers Management System and a Driving School Management System, implementing state management with Redux, authentication and payment flows, containerization with Docker, and deployments to Cloudflare and Firebase.

I am passionate about continuous learning, contribute to open-source, and hold practical experience with tools like Figma, Git, Docker, Firebase, and AWS-related training, which I apply to deliver maintainable, high-quality solutions.
