Junior Front-End Developer skilled in React, accessible UX, and web security.
What I'm looking for
I am a junior front-end developer focused on building responsive, accessible, and user-friendly web interfaces using JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS. I bring a mature engineering mindset grounded in years of IT infrastructure, networks, and cybersecurity experience.
I hold a PhD in Computer Science with research and publications in privacy, cybersecurity, and software systems, and I apply security and privacy fundamentals to front-end development and production environments. I designed and developed the HelpUSBR production website, emphasizing semantic HTML, accessibility, and mobile-first responsiveness.
My professional background includes long-term IT consulting in infrastructure and network operations, hands-on administration of MikroTik equipment, and supporting production systems with documentation and incident resolution. I am fluent in English, comfortable with remote international collaboration, and contractor-friendly.
I am seeking remote, international junior front-end roles on global teams where I can deliver consistently, learn quickly, and grow into a strong product-focused developer who prioritizes usability, accessibility, and secure engineering practices.
