Strengths - Explore the unique set of skills that define my expertise

I always felt that visual feedback is necessary for me to be satisfied with my work. That's why I've always been interested in user interface and user interaction, even though I specialized in artificial intelligence at university.

  • Design systems. Turning design intent from Figma into design systems and documented component libraries in Storybook, built on Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui and Radix UI.
  • Front-end engineering. React, Next.js and TypeScript, from client-side architecture and micro frontends to the last pixel, with accessibility built in rather than bolted on. Full-stack when a project needs it, from headless WordPress to PostgreSQL.
  • Design and UX/UI. Years of working alongside designers, reviewing mock-ups and reworking interfaces end to end. A visual background in typography and Adobe Creative Suite shapes how I build.
  • Photography. Is my passion, love, hobby, and escape from the reality where I can freely unleash my creativity.
