Front-end Developer · 17 years of experience
I turn complex products into clean, fast, delightful front-ends.
For the past 17 years I've built front-ends at large companies and small startups, working in scrum teams. I'm flexible, quick to learn and fast to feel at home in a team, with a soft spot for creative solutions and readable, well-structured code.
