What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a collaborative front-end role where I can craft user-centric interfaces with modern JS frameworks, contribute to design systems, and grow into product or technical leadership within an agile team.

I am a technology enthusiast focused on front-end development and UX/UI design, combining technical expertise with creative problem-solving to deliver user-centric solutions. I prioritize accessibility, performance, and clean, maintainable code.

I have built and led front-end efforts for high-impact products, including a catalog and content platform that reached over 500,000 monthly active users and enhancements to an academic platform used by more than 40,000 students. I work across modern stacks such as React, Vue, Next.js and TypeScript and contribute to design systems and testing strategies.

Currently advancing project management skills through an MBA, I collaborate closely with designers, backend engineers and product teams, and I enjoy improving developer workflows, automated testing, and delivery in agile environments.
