About me
Enthusiastic Frontend Developer with a background in nutrition science. As a former health professional, I understand the human brain, and how this knowledge translates into design, engagement, and building relationships.
I’m passionate about creating intuitive, engaging, and accessible websites and applications that prioritize aesthetics, functionality, and user experience.
With a solid foundation in React, I’m eager to tackle challenges head-on and contribute to impactful projects in a collaborative environment. I am excited to continue learning, growing, and delivering innovative, scalable web applications that enhance user experiences and drive success.
I’m also interested in exploring 3D and animation to create more exciting and dynamic applications, currently diving into libraries like Three.js and GSAP.
Looking for a first job opportunity in the IT field to kickstart my career.
