My Journey

My journey to becoming a senior front-end developer began during my last year at Syracuse University when I discovered my passion for coding through an introductory HTML class. I started with Notepad as my first IDE, where I learned the essentials of programming. As technology evolved, so did my tools—I transitioned from Notepad to Sublime Text, then to Visual Studio Code, and now to Cursor, an IDE with integrated AI to help speed up development and enhance my workflow. Along the way, I had the privilege of working with top agencies, facing complex challenges that pushed me to grow both technically and professionally.

As a woman in tech, my path has demanded adaptability, resilience, and a commitment to excellence. Colleagues have often described me as meticulous, professional, and a true helper, traits that have defined my approach to each project. My dedication to doing things right the first time has not only strengthened my skills but has also built a reputation for delivering clean, efficient, and reliable solutions. This combination of experience and adaptability continues to fuel my passion for helping clients achieve their web goals.

Mission

My mission as a freelance senior frontend engineer is simple: to help non-tech clients navigate the world of web development with ease. Whether it’s launching a new website, improving performance, or managing web pages when your dev team is occupied, I’m here to provide the expertise and support you need.

Vision

I envision expanding my offerings by developing custom themes for Shopify and becoming a go-to expert for CMS work, including platforms like Contentful, Sanity, and Shopify. My goal is to keep evolving alongside the latest web technologies while staying committed to helping clients achieve their digital goals.
