PORTFOLIO

About Me

My background and what I do

I'm a frontend developer with 6+ years of experience working with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node.js. I specialize in building performant, scalable, and SEO-friendly applications using technologies like Next.js and the Jamstack.

Outside of coding, you'll find me enjoying sports, music, or diving into a good book.

Self-reliant

I take ownership of projects and solve problems independently, while knowing when to seek guidance.

Feedback-driven

I actively seek and incorporate feedback, valuing different perspectives to improve my work.

Holistic thinker

I approach development by considering the entire system, user experience, and long-term maintainability.
