About me
Creative UI Engineer & Product Developer with 2+ years of experience designing and shipping production web and mobile applications. I work across UI/UX, React, Next.js and React Native, taking products from concept and design through development, deployment and client delivery. Comfortable moving between Figma, code and client conversations — building modern interfaces with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, shaping brand systems in Canva, and exploring motion and 3D in Blender. Passionate about combining craft and engineering to turn ideas into intuitive, polished experiences that feel good to use and ready to ship.
