About

UI/UX Developer and Accessibility-Focused Frontend Engineer with 2+ years of professional experience building accessible, scalable web applications in remote-friendly, cross-functional teams. My background spans frontend development, accessibility-first UI implementation, and UX-driven design, with recent experience working in a Vue/Nuxt production codebase. I’ve built and maintained user-facing features, modernized legacy frontend code, and collaborated closely with product managers, designers, and engineers. I have a strong focus on web accessibility, including semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, ARIA patterns, and WCAG-aligned UI development, alongside solid foundations in JavaScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS, WordPress, and Shopify. I’m currently seeking a frontend-leaning UI/UX or UI Engineer role where I can contribute to accessible, maintainable, and user-centered interfaces.
