Profile

I turn messy product requirements into maintainable interfaces, clear component systems, and dependable user flows. This version emphasizes the React, Next.js, and UI architecture work that shows how I think about frontend quality beyond just shipping screens.

Why this version fits

  • React and Next.js delivery in real product teams, not only side projects
  • Comfortable with design systems, accessibility, and maintainable component structure
  • Strong bridge between product thinking, implementation detail, and polish
