Who I am
A builder with an eye for the whole picture.
I work across software engineering with a focus on front-end development and practical web systems. I enjoy the part where a real problem becomes a clear interface: structuring content, shaping interactions and making sure the result behaves well on every screen.
My foundation is semantic HTML, responsive CSS and vanilla JavaScript. When a project needs server-side logic, I work with Node.js, Express and PostgreSQL, and I connect interfaces to supported APIs where it makes sense.
I'm not interested in showing off the longest list of technologies. I choose tools that suit the problem and place the emphasis on clarity, accessibility and code that can be maintained.

What I build
Digital products with a clear job to do.
The technology should serve the purpose. These are the kinds of problems I focus on.
Interactive web applications
Browser-based tools shaped around a workflow — structured input, understandable interfaces and useful feedback.
Practical improvements
Redesigns, responsive fixes, accessibility improvements and technical clean-up for existing digital products.
How I approach projects
Thoughtful decisions, not decoration.
A good interface should feel obvious. Getting there takes careful thinking.
Understand before building
I ask about the audience, the content and the outcome before settling on a layout or a technical approach.
Simplify the path
Clear hierarchy and direct language usually do more for a project than another visual effect.
Build responsibly
Semantic markup, responsive styles, accessible controls and readable code are part of the work, not extras.
Test and refine
I test the actual experience on different screen sizes and fix the details that get in the way.
Technologies and tools
Fundamentals, used with intent.
I work with a focused set of tools. There are no proficiency percentages here — the projects are the evidence.
Front-end
- HTML5
- CSS3
- JavaScript
- Responsive design
- Accessibility
- Semantic HTML
Back-end
- Node.js
- Express
- PostgreSQL
- REST APIs
Workflow
- Git
- GitHub
- VS Code
- Browser dev tools
Integration
- API integration
- JSON
- Forms
- Third-party APIs
Currently exploring
Still curious.
The work gets better when the learning continues. At the moment I'm spending time with:
- Modern CSS layout, custom properties and interface systems
- Accessible interaction patterns and keyboard-first design
- Full-stack JavaScript and cleaner API boundaries
- Performance-minded front-end architecture
