What I'm looking for

Looking to contribute to impactful frontend projects and continue learning in a team that values collaboration, problem-solving, and attention to detail.

I'm a seasoned frontend software developer with over 5 years of experience in building responsive, scalable, and user-centric web applications. I specialize in React, Next.js, and CSS, with a proven ability to translate complex UI designs into pixel-perfect, high-performance web experiences.

I take pride in collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams, improving the user experience, and delivering projects on time. Known for problem-solving, attention to detail, and mentoring junior developers, I'm looking to bring my skills to a team where I can contribute to impactful frontend projects and continue learning.

With a strong background in frontend technologies, cloud platforms, and agile development, I'm confident in my ability to drive results-driven projects and foster strong teamwork and collaboration.
