What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and accessibility.

I am a passionate web developer with over two years of hands-on experience in creating responsive and user-centric web applications. My expertise lies in utilizing technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript, along with frameworks like Angular and React. I thrive on translating design mockups into functional features, ensuring that every application I develop is not only visually appealing but also highly functional and accessible.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to various projects, including enhancing user interfaces and ensuring compliance with Web Accessibility (WCAG) standards. My role at Levanta Labs involved redesigning key sections of a client-facing service website, where I implemented a multi-step onboarding flow and improved the overall user experience. I am committed to maintaining high code quality through peer reviews and unit testing, which has allowed me to consistently deliver robust and maintainable codebases.
