Expertise

I am a software developer who focuses on clear, accessible and sustainable web user interfaces. I build solutions that are easy to use, easy to maintain and work reliably on different devices. I prefer to build a well-made whole product rather than a quickly assembled solution and I pay attention to the details that make the user experience pleasant.

Front-end

  • Semantic HTML, component-based structure
  • Modern CSS (grid, clamp, prefers-reduced-motion)
  • Vanilla JS: data → UI, state, modals, filtering

Quality

  • Accessibility (keyboard, contrast, ARIA)
  • Performance (lightweight, no framework dependencies)
  • Clear coding style + documentation

Cooperation

  • Communication & clarification of specifications
  • Iteration based on feedback
  • Reasonable scope and delivery reliability

About me

I am a software developer who particularly values clarity, accessibility and sustainable structure in user interfaces. This portfolio is intenionally "framework-free" to make it easy to read and maintain.

I enjoy projects that combine good UX, logical structure and careful implementation, where the user interface is not only "functional" but also pleasant to use. I am particularly interested in front-end-focused projects and roles where I can develop user interfaces for real users and improve existing solutions. I am motivated by seeing how even small details-such as accessibility, clarity and interaction-can genuinely improve a product.

Portfolio + projects

I compile the strongest works and turn them into clear case descriptions.

Learning about databases, Node.js and user interfaces. Also studying version control. Currently also learning about Kanban.

Working method
Iteration

I will quickly build a working version and improve it based on data/feedback.
