Frontend Developer at Better Mistakes, improving client websites from Figma to accessible launch and raising Lighthouse scores above 90.
What I'm looking for
At Better Mistakes, I shipped and maintained responsive production websites across 15+ client projects, taking frontend implementation from Figma through accessible launch. I built modular Webflow components and design token systems to keep marketing builds consistent and easier to maintain.
I extended Webflow projects with custom JavaScript, GSAP interactions, and third-party API integrations for dynamic filtering and CMS-driven interfaces. I also improved Lighthouse scores from around 60 to 90+ through asset optimization, lazy-loading fixes, and resource-hint tuning, verified with cross-browser QA and accessibility checks.
Alongside my production work, I’ve built React and TypeScript projects, including a grocery price comparison app with custom Node API routes and a React app with a Hono backend on Cloudflare Workers. I’m looking for a team where I can contribute to React features and grow under senior guidance.
