About

I'm a frontend developer with four years of experience across React, Next.js, Vue.js, and Ruby on Rails codebases. I build responsive interfaces, scalable component systems, and reliable frontend architecture, working closely with design and product teams. Day to day I also lean on AI-assisted coding workflows to move faster without cutting corners.
