What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters creativity and growth, where I can leverage my front-end skills to create impactful web solutions.

I am a passionate and results-driven Front-End Web Developer with over a year of professional experience in developing responsive and user-friendly web applications. My expertise lies in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React, complemented by a strong foundation in UI/UX design and knowledge of SEO best practices. I strive to create visually engaging and functional websites that deliver seamless user experiences.

As the Founder and Lead Web Developer at Rickcrafted Brands, I oversee all project phases, ensuring timely and on-budget delivery of high-quality web development and branding solutions for startups. My previous role at Northland Agency involved collaborating with designers and back-end developers to implement new features, utilizing Git for version control, and troubleshooting technical issues to maintain project timelines. I am committed to continuous learning and staying updated with emerging web technologies to enhance my skill set.
