I'm a designer-turned-engineer who loves crafting bespoke and performant experiences on the web. I focus on frontend development while continually expanding my full-stack skills. My background helps me blend aesthetics with clean, functional code to build high-impact products that solve complex technical challenges. I'm always looking for ways to bridge design and development, making sure both visual and technical details come together smoothly.
