@sankale
I'm a passionate software developer with experience in frontend development.
What I'm looking for
As a passionate frontend developer, I have a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React, with a growing expertise in Tailwind CSS for building modern and responsive user interfaces. I enjoy transforming design concepts into fully functional, visually appealing websites and applications. My experience spans creating dynamic e-commerce platforms, crafting interactive web applications, and optimizing user experiences across various devices.
I've had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, including a to-do list application, a weather app integrating external APIs, and contributing to the re-design of an e-commerce website for Mantra Lingua, a children's publishing company. These experiences have sharpened my skills in React and enhanced my understanding of responsive design, component-based architecture, and best practices in frontend development.
I am continuously striving to improve, currently focusing on mastering Tailwind CSS and building more complex and professional-grade applications. I maintain a professional portfolio at Sankale-Portfolio, showcasing my projects and demonstrating my design and coding abilities.
Beyond coding, I run a YouTube channel called 'Top 5', where I explore diverse topics, including tech and productivity. I also enjoy learning through audiobooks and am currently interested in business and self-improvement literature, such as 'The Richest Man in Babylon.'
My goal is to join a forward-thinking team where I can contribute my frontend expertise while continuing to learn and grow alongside experienced developers. I am particularly drawn to projects that challenge me creatively and technically, offering opportunities to innovate and deliver impactful user experiences.
