What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth in frontend development.

As a Junior Frontend Developer, I am detail-oriented and analytical, with a strong passion for building intuitive, accessible, and responsive web applications. My technical mindset is complemented by problem-solving perseverance, ensuring that I deliver robust and well-structured code. I have hands-on experience with React, JavaScript, and state management, all while focusing on creating seamless user experiences.

Currently, I am actively participating in the development of the ProCharity platform, where I have implemented significant accessibility improvements. My previous projects, including the Stellar Burger website, showcase my ability to manage state and real-time data effectively. I thrive in self-directed environments, quickly learning new technologies and applying them effectively. My background in audio engineering has reinforced my logical and structured thinking, which I apply to my work in frontend development.
