About Me

Hello! I'm a creative problem solver and driven Front End Developer with a BFA in design. I am passionate about writing clean, functional, and bug-free code, and I'm fascinated by the endless possibilities of coding. My main focus is on Front End technologies (HTML, CSS, SaSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, React), and I have a growing interest in back-end development, allowing me to create comprehensive and robust applications.

In my role as a developer, I strive to create user-friendly and innovative web applications that enhance user experience and meet business objectives. I aim to contribute to a team where I can leverage my creativity and technical skills to solve complex problems and develop high-quality solutions. I seek a role where I can grow both professionally and personally through continuous learning and collaboration.

My design background gives me a unique perspective, blending aesthetics with functionality. I deeply understand design principles and user-centric approaches, developed through my education and professional experience.

Beyond coding, I love exploring the city or nature, reading, and spending time with my family.

This project was an assignment ... designed to test my skills under a strict deadline. The task was to recreate a design from Figma into a fully functioning webpage. I committed my changes frequently to my GitHub repository to ensure continuous progress and facilitate review.
The main criterias included ensuring the HTML/CSS was valid and semantic, implementing interactive elements with hover and focus styling, and ensuring cross-browser compatibility. I also used Sass for styling and included necessary assets like Google Fonts, Font Awesome, and Favicon. Throughout the project, I prioritized responsiveness and form validation to enhance user experience.
