About Me

I am an early-career frontend developer who enjoys turning ideas into clean, interactive web experiences. I focus on fundamentals first while building confidence in real project work.

I am currently growing in component architecture, accessibility, and animation basics, and I value mentorship, feedback, and consistent practice.

Skill Tree

What I Bring

Curious Builder

I ask lots of questions up front and use feedback to shape features that are simple and useful.

Frontend Foundations

I focus on readable components, responsive layouts, and clear hierarchy while improving my craft each project.

Growth Mindset

I treat every build as a learning opportunity and document what worked so I can level up quickly.

Active Quests

Now

  • Building small projects weekly to strengthen TypeScript and component architecture skills.
