Building clean, responsive web applications and intuitive user-focused interfaces

About Me

I'm a frontend developer focused on building responsive, user-centered web applications using React, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS/SCSS. I enjoy combining design and development to create interfaces that are both visually engaging and technically well structured. In addition to frontend development, I have experience working with Python, Node, REST APIs, Git, and UI/UX design tools like Figma, and I enjoy continuously expanding my skills through personal projects and collaboration with the developer community and previously served as a Leader of Learning at Women Who Code, where I hosted JavaScript study groups and mentored new developers.

My Strengths as a Developer

Building Real Applications

I focus on building real-world projects that demonstrate practical development skills using modern technologies like React and JavaScript.

Problem-Focused Development

I approach development by understanding the problem first and designing solutions that balance usability, performance, and maintainability.

UI / UX Collaboration

With experience in Figma and frontend frameworks, I bridge the gap between design and development to create polished user interfaces.

Continuous Improvement

I am committed to constantly improving my technical skills and staying current with modern development tools and best practices.
