4Years Experience

Creative Front-End Developer with a passion for building beautiful and functional UIs. I thrive in collaborative environments and have experience leading small teams. I'm a quick learner who's always eager to grow and bring a positive, communicative approach to every project. My current learning plan, besides front-end related technologies, is to learn more about backend technologies (especially Node.js).

More about me


Putting work aside, I try to be as active as possible. First of all, I'm in love with Japan and Japanese culture. Therefore, I'm learning the Japanese language and training martial arts, specifically Oyama Karate. I have a blue belt with a yellow stripe (7th kyu) and have plans to achieve even more.

Besides karate, I'm also a frequent gym guest, working towards achieving a healthy lifestyle.

Not only do I love to work out, but I'm also a keen book reader and literature lover. My interests aren't limited to reading – I'm trying to write my own novel, and sometimes I even create short stories.

My third love is gaming. I especially love RPG games and platformers (Mario forever!). I value a good gaming experience, creative level design, and great stories. I'm also obsessed with logical riddles – if a game has them, count me in!

I also have two small, black voids, also known as my beloved cats.

Employment history

    I built and maintained web applications using Scrum teamwork methods. I worked with an international team, and my clear English communication kept things smooth. I especially enjoyed creating a complex sales app with features specific to different travel brands, making it easier for users. I then used my skills to build an app that captured leads through user-friendly forms. My expertise in React and JavaScript allowed me to tackle these projects confidently.

    I built beautiful and user-friendly websites from scratch using WordPress CMS. My focus on detail ensured pixel-perfect results and a great user experience. I also used ACF Pro and Gutenberg blocks to make development faster and more efficient. I prioritised website speed and consistently achieved perfect 100/100 PageSpeed scores.

    I wasn't limited to websites. I also built dynamic web applications using React and Next.js. I integrated them with headless CMS solutions like Strapi or Sanity. My strong foundation in both JavaScript and React ensured I could effectively utilize these technologies and deliver successful projects.

    Promoted into a Team Lead role after a few months, I led teams of 2-6 developers. I have learned how to build a strong team and deliver projects on time. I juggled client collaboration, workload organization, and leading meetings to keep everyone aligned and on track.
