Frontend developer building user-focused web apps with React and Next.js.
What I'm looking for
I’m a motivated, detail-oriented Frontend Developer seeking a remote internship to grow within a collaborative engineering team. I’m proficient in React.js, Next.js, and modern JavaScript, with hands-on experience building client websites and API-driven applications.
As a Freelance Frontend Developer (Independent, Client Projects) from 2023–Present, I’ve worked remotely to design and build production-ready front-end experiences. I developed a personal graphic design portfolio site using React.js, Vite, and Chakra UI, and I also built the Simplify Synergy fintech company website—a multi-section marketing site with responsive layout and interactive UI components, delivered from Figma designs with direct client collaboration.
I also ship practical projects that sharpen my fundamentals and product thinking, like a Movie Discovery App that fetches live API data with search plus loading/error states, and a Todo List App using React state and localStorage. Through my Self-Directed Frontend Engineering Programme, I’ve completed structured JavaScript fundamentals and built multiple React projects with hooks, API integration, and responsive design—while using Claude Code for accelerated learning and debugging in a remote-first workflow.
