Currently, I work at Santander Auto, where I have successfully implemented key features for the Underwriting team using a robust tech stack including Typescript, React, and Vite. My contributions have significantly improved customer leasing application management and enhanced the overall user experience.

Previously, I served as a Front End Consultant at Ensono Digital, where I co-led the rebranding of TheGymGroup website, focusing on performance optimization and accessibility. My collaborative approach and commitment to following best practices have consistently resulted in successful project outcomes.
