What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values creativity and innovation, where I can further develop my skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I'm a passionate Front-End Web Developer with extensive experience in creating responsive WordPress websites. My journey began as a Junior Front-End Developer at SoBold, where I honed my skills in transforming Adobe and Figma designs into pixel-perfect implementations. I take pride in my ability to customize WordPress themes and plugins, enhancing site functionality and user experience through semantic code, accessibility, and SEO best practices.

Throughout my career, I have developed interactive UI components using vanilla JavaScript and various JS libraries, while also implementing AJAX for dynamic content updates. My proficiency with modern build tools like npm and webpack has streamlined my development processes, allowing me to optimize websites for performance and cross-browser compatibility. I am dedicated to mentoring junior developers and leading front-end project aspects, ensuring high-quality outcomes.
