What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in frontend and full stack development while contributing to innovative projects.

I am a passionate Frontend and Full Stack Developer with a strong focus on building fast, responsive, and pixel-perfect web applications. My expertise lies in utilizing modern technologies such as React, NextJS, and Tailwind CSS to create user-friendly interfaces that not only meet design specifications but also enhance user experience. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my skills to a supportive team.

During my internship at Kilele Health, I successfully built responsive interfaces and developed real-time chat and video call features, significantly enhancing user communication. My freelance projects, including a collaborative travel planner and a comprehensive hotel booking app, showcase my ability to integrate complex functionalities while maintaining a seamless user experience. I am committed to continuous learning and growth in the tech industry.
