about

Frontend developer with production experience across multiple roles, building for web and mobile. I've built admin dashboards, interactive landing pages, and full-stack web apps, owning the frontend from design handoff to deployment. I care about how interfaces feel: the micro-interactions, the responsive behaviour, the details that separate a UI that works from one that's a pleasure to use.

Technologies:

  • core: React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3
  • mobile: React Native (Expo)
  • styling: Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules, CSS
  • ui / animation: Framer Motion, GSAP
  • state & data: React Context, Redux, Zustand, Supabase
  • tools: Git/GitHub, Vercel, Figma, Agile/Scrum
  • other: Python, SQL, n8n / AI workflow automation

Some of my projects

DSI Football

A sports media platform covering 16+ football competitions (Premier League, La Liga, UEFA Champions League, AFCON, Serie A and more) with daily article publishing. I built the writer-facing admin dashboard used by the editorial team to manage every article that ships to the live site.

  • Built the full article management workflow. Writers can draft, edit, update, and delete articles, with a built-in analytics view showing how many readers each of their pieces has reached.
  • Implemented role-based access control with NextAuth and Supabase, so each writer signs in to their own scoped dashboard and can only manage articles they own, while admins get broader access across the editorial team.

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase, NextAuth

Nora AI

An AI-powered companion app for expecting and new mothers, delivering daily emotional check-ins, personalized guidance, and stage-based reminders from pregnancy through the toddler years, built across a Next.js marketing site and native iOS/Android apps.

  • Built sections of the marketing site in Next.js + Tailwind CSS, translating designs into responsive, mobile-first layouts with smooth scroll behaviour and clean component composition.
  • Built two core in-app features in React Native: a milestone tracker where mothers log developmental moments for themselves and their child along a stage-based timeline, and a gallery for capturing and organizing memories visually.

Stack: Next.js, React Native (Expo), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

Kanban

A full-stack Kanban board for managing tasks across multiple boards and columns, with dark mode and per-user state.

  • Built the full board UI with dynamic columns, task cards, drag-and-drop reordering, and a dark/light mode toggle using Shadcn components and TypeScript.
  • Implemented authentication with Better Auth and a Postgres (Neon) database for persistent, per-user board and task state.

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres (Neon), TailwindCSS, Shadcn, Better Auth

A user-onboarding platform where businesses create and manage interactive product tours. Built with Next.js, Supabase for auth and data, and TypeScript end to end.
