As a front end developer, I enjoy team collaboration in a fast-paced, sprint-driven environment. I’m comfortable working remotely, hybrid or onsite. Experienced in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES5, ES6, ES7), I leverage my experience to produce high-visibility web applications within a variety of industry types, including advertising, pharmaceutical, Telecomm and food service. I'm proficient in essential tools like VS Code with relevant extensions, GitHub Desktop, Azure Dev Ops, SharePoint list administration, and Chrome Dev Tools for debugging.

I have about a year of experience with React, and I'm anxious to work on a React app project again as it aligns perfectly with my goal to further advance my skills in this technology.I try staying current with trends to deliver web solutions that enhance user engagement and provide a decent user experience.
