Expert UI Development for Modern Applications

With a decade of experience in software engineering, my professional journey in UI development has evolved from jQuery and basic JavaScript to mastering advanced frameworks like React and Angular. This evolution ignited my passion for creating modern web applications, leveraging the full potential of these powerful tools to help businesses grow and build best-in-class software.

Professional Experience

Throughout my career, I have extensively worked with web forms, displaying data in list and detail pages, and added interactivity and custom actions. I have creating software that allows for exploration of data in intuitive user friendly ways that support use cases and meet user requirements. My software solutions have removed the need for spreadsheets, boosting business scalability, and facilitating improved communication and branding. I've built solutions targeting pain points, automating business processes, and enhancing both employee and customer experiences while providing insights for stakeholders.

Specialized skills

In addition to form development, data reporting, and detail views I have created charts and custom interactive data visualizations components, worked with pdfs, collected user data, and monitored user activity. My experience includes extensive work with creating, reading, updating, and deleting data in web applications and websites. I have implemented automations and business process enhancements, and developed custom implementations for web application dashboards.

Tools and Frameworks

I have utilized a variety of technology and frameworks to help build web applications with best practices. I have built projects in all of 3 of the most popular frontend frameworks: React, Angular, Vue.js. Additionally, I have employed various tools for templating, css and styling, including "frameworks" and libraries such as Bootstrap, Styled Components, Tailwind, and MUI. I am also well veresd in state management tools like Redux or React Context, as well as service oriented and observable structures common in Angular. My expertise extends to foundational building blocks for web applications including sessions, cookies, requests and responses, authentication, access control, web sockets, caching, error handling, local storage, validation, etc.

Design Principals and Turning Mockups into code

Though experience and study, I have honed my understanding of design concepts such as alignment, size, responsiveness, typography, color, spacing, and accessibility. Although I am still learning to design myself, I recognize the important aspects of good design. I'm also comfortable doing mock ups and designs in Figma or Sketch and performing edits and content creation in Illustrator and Photoshop, or utilizing generative AI. I have a strong track record of turning mockups into functional, interactive, and responsive user interfaces.

Passion for Frontend

I love to code; each line and function written brings a satisfying sense of accomplishment. The variety of ways to write code fascinates me. Building frontends through component-based development is like assembling a mosaic, where each component is a tile that forms a cohesive and beautiful design.

Coding is like architecting a bridge; it can be fragile and temporary or custom-built to stand the test of time. My aim is to build sturdy and enduring solutions that precisely meet the requirements at hand.
