“If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes.” — Albert Einstein, Theoretical Physicist.
Front End Developer with 12 years of experience specializing in scalable UI architecture and building performant, intuitive web applications. I implement modular SPAs using React, Angular, and TypeScript, with a strong focus on usability, accessibility, and developer efficiency. Skilled in integrating modern tooling like Webpack, NPM, and CI/CD, I streamline workflows and maintain clean, maintainable codebases. Passionate about UX, I prototype and deliver innovative solutions, staying current with emerging technologies. I thrive in agile environments, enjoy solving complex UI problems, and actively participate in hackathons to push creative and technical boundaries.

Here are a few of the things I bring

Your Frontend Ally and DOM Diplomat

Bridging design and development, I champion frontend excellence with a deep understanding of the DOM and user experience.

JavaScript, TypeScript & Beyond

Always exploring the cutting edge—modern JavaScript, TypeScript, powerful frameworks, and robust tooling are my daily tools of choice.

Built on Best Practices

I don’t just build—I document, refine, and scale using proven architectural patterns and frontend principles.

End-to-End Ownership

From behavior-driven UX to system planning, from code implementation to seamless delivery—I loop back, always improving.

UI Obsessed, Problem Focused

A passion for clean, functional UI pushes me to identify pain points, take ownership, and deliver elegant solutions.

No Great Idea Left Behind

I believe even unconventional ideas deserve a shot—let’s elevate the overlooked into the extraordinary.

These are *some* of my skills
