BIOGRAPHY

Transitioning from a scientific background in nanotechnology to web development was not just a career shift, but a fusion of analytical rigor with digital innovation. My scientific foundation instilled precision, problem-solving, and a meticulous attention to detail that now empowers my work as a frontend developer.

Over six years, I have honed my skills in designing scalable web applications, building reusable component libraries, optimizing workflows, and ensuring seamless user experiences. My expertise spans modern frameworks like Vue.js, React, and Angular, along with a strong grasp of state management, testing, and CI/CD pipelines.

Every project I take on reflects not just technical proficiency but also my commitment to creating impactful, user-centric solutions. I thrive at the intersection of scientific precision and creative design, driven to deliver innovative results that exceed expectations.
