About Me
I’m a front end developer that is enthusiastic about elegant and intuitive UI. I’m looking to work for a company where I can use my
skills to contribute to creating great products.
I have experience with different kind of web projects from global product marketing sites, web applications that customers use to
purchase services, small business sites, to UX/UI prototypes for web app/games. I have built responsive sites that need to be pixel
perfect for clients and I’ve worked on re-usable UI components and library such as galleries and interactive charts. I’m familiar with
tools such as React.js, dust, D3.js or I can code in vanilla Javascript without having to rely on libraries. I also have experience with
AJAX, JSON, and REST api in my projects.
I have a good feel for UX and visual design. I also have experience creating UI Photoshop compositions and motion graphics videos
to showcase or explain user interactions.
