What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can leverage my web development skills to create impactful digital solutions and grow professionally.

I am a dedicated web developer with extensive experience in both frontend and backend technologies. Currently, I work at Benchworks, where I collaborate on various web development projects, utilizing frameworks like NextJS and VueJS to create responsive and user-friendly websites. My role involves not only coding but also working closely with designers to ensure a seamless design-to-development pipeline.

Previously, I served as the sole developer for Coinme, where I built and optimized the crypto price pages and a custom store locator, enhancing user experience through effective data integration and API usage. My background also includes managing web projects at Doctors Internet, where I developed numerous websites and handled IT management tasks, ensuring smooth operations and high-quality deliverables.
