What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated Frontend Engineer and UI/UX Developer with a passion for building fast and functional web applications. My expertise lies in utilizing modern technologies such as React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL to create reliable and maintainable solutions that meet business needs. I take pride in my detail-oriented approach, ensuring that every project I undertake prioritizes performance, accessibility, and scalability.

Currently, I serve as the Lead Designer and Frontend Developer at CodeCompass, LLC, where I have successfully developed a custom UI library that significantly increased developer productivity. My role involves collaborating with designers and back-end developers to deliver scalable solutions while optimizing front-end performance to enhance user engagement. I have also worked on various freelance projects, including a bookkeeping website and an AI-driven portfolio management system, both of which showcase my ability to create seamless and engaging user experiences.
