I'm a seasoned software engineer specializing in front-end development, but my passion extends far beyond the browser. I love crafting beautiful, accessible, and engaging user experiences, whether that's through web apps, native applications, or backend APIs. With a strong track record in open-source contributions, accessibility advocacy, and deep dives into frameworks like Ember.js and React.js, I'm always up for building something amazing!
I'm open to interesting work—feel free to contact me via my website!
- Front-End Development: Deep expertise in frameworks like Ember.js, React.js, and extensive experience with single-page applications.
