01 — Experience

Experienced frontend developer

Interfaces that feel alive but stay in control.

I design and build dark‑mode‑first frontends with motion, structure, and taste—bridging the gap between design systems and joyful, expressive interfaces.

What I care about

Strong fundamentals, clean architecture, and motion that explains the interface instead of distracting from it.

Playground

Things I like to explore

Small experiments that usually start as CodeSandbox links or throwaway repos, and sometimes grow into patterns I reuse in production work.

Micro‑interactions

Buttons, toggles, and states that feel tactile

Focus on timing, easing, and feedback for everyday UI pieces.

Scrolling experiences

Sections that respond to scroll and cursor

Narrative layouts with parallax, reveals, and controlled motion.

Visual systems

Color, grids, and depth on dark backgrounds

Exploring how light, blur, and layering can guide attention.
