About Me

Hello. I’m a Front-end UI/UX Developer with two years of experience in Full-stack Web Development and 3+ years in UI & UX Design and HCI research. While I work across the full stack, my expertise in HCI and UI/UX drives my focus on front-end development where I bridge functionality with design to deliver intuitive user experiences. I’m detail-oriented, quick to adapt to new technologies, and passionate about building scalable, accessible solutions. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and playing video games.
