Front End Developer

Frontend Engineer / Full Stack Engineer

🚀 As a dynamic Frontend Engineer, I also tackle full-stack intricacies, deeply engaged in the ever-evolving JavaScript landscape. My journey spans experiences with a well-established corporation, an agile startup, and freelance work, showcasing adaptability in varied work environments.

🎨 Fueled by perseverance, adaptability, and a constant desire to learn, I specialize in crafting user-friendly interfaces that directly impact end users. I find immense satisfaction in working on projects closer to the end user and engaging with them to make lives easier through UI enhancements and optimizations that drive both incredible experiences and higher organic traffic.

🏆 With a background as a competitive swimmer, I bring independence, adaptability, and a goal-oriented approach. As a collaborative team player, I like working with cross-functional teams to continuously refine, develop, and ship high-quality technical solutions that are aligned with the overall vision and goals of the product. I also thrive in engaging directly with the client to understand their business needs, translating these into a comprehensive technical roadmap that guides the project's development to a successful delivery.

💻 Proficient in HTML, CSS, and an array of JavaScript technologies encompassing React, Next.js, and Node.js, I possess a versatile skill set spanning both front-end and back-end development in the JavaScript realm. My expertise extends to TypeScript, GraphQL, and SQL or NoSQL databases. Not limited by my current toolkit, I maintain an open mindset toward mastering new programming languages, embracing emerging technologies, and staying up to date with the industry's best practices and trends to deliver high-quality work. I bring not just technical capacity but a keen business sense. Comfortable with discomfort, I embrace challenges, perpetually on a journey of mastery.

🌍 Having worked fully remotely in a distributed team across different timezones, I've honed my skills in an environment that demands autonomy and teamwork, leveraging excellent written and verbal communication, asynchronous and synchronous collaboration, documentation, and visibility of work.
