I cook up cool stuff for the web
I am a frontend developer enthusiastic about building apps, scripts, and web magic. My coding is all about clean, efficient work and creating accessible, user-friendly experiences. Outside of coding, I enjoy cooking and spending time with family and our three cats, who often join me during while programming.
