This is what I have been up too
I'm a passionate front-end developer who thrives in environments that foster continuous learning and collaboration. I'm actively seeking opportunities to expand my skillset while sharing my knowledge with others. My experience is diverse, encompassing work in both large corporations and fast-paced startups. In both settings, I've championed building and shipping high-quality products that address real customer needs.
Beyond technical expertise, I'm deeply invested in working for an organization that prioritizes diversity, inclusion, and belonging. I firmly believe that people perform at their best when their voices are heard, their opinions are valued, and collaboration is actively encouraged.
