What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build high-performance front-end experiences from Figma to React/Next.js, improve WordPress sites, and work closely with teams on UX, SEO, and maintainable dashboards—where quality, collaboration, and growth matter.

I’m a highly versatile, results-driven front-end web developer and graphic designer with over 7 years of experience bridging aesthetic design and technical implementation. I work end-to-end—from initial concept and brand identity to responsive front-end development and WordPress customization.

I specialize in translating Figma designs to Reactjs/Nextjs websites using Tailwind CSS and JavaScript, building dashboards that interface with backend APIs, and delivering engaging animations with GSAP and Motion. I focus on performance, accessibility, and “user-first” UI/UX decisions through prototypes and layout mockups in Adobe XD and Figma.

In web development and maintenance roles, I’ve maintained front-end functionality, ensured pages load without errors, and supported users with WordPress issues—while improving uptime, code efficiency, and SEO outcomes. I’ve also run SEO audits with WordPress plugins and improved Google search ranking by more than 15%, alongside updating themes/plugins and maintaining secure, virus-free sites.

I enjoy collaborating with teams and stakeholders—testing before going live, gathering feedback, and providing training to users on webapps and Headless CMS. I’m principled, hardworking, and self-driven, and I take pride in transforming complex problems into elegant, user-centric solutions.
