About me

As a dynamic professional with a proven record in both B2B and B2C management, I seamlessly merge a robust foundation in customer service and leadership with an unwavering passion for technology. My transition from a managerial role to a frontend software developer was inspired by my eagerness to channel my collaborative spirit and technical prowess into creating intuitive and user-centric digital experiences.

My career journey, marked by decisive leadership and an adaptive mindset, has always been driven by a profound desire for learning and making meaningful contributions. From fostering open communication in thriving teams to boldly stepping away from a secure position in search of greater challenges, every experience has honed my resilience and determination. This evolution was further fueled by my relentless pursuit to stay at the cutting edge of frontend development trends, frequently immersing myself in workshops, webinars, and community engagement.

I possess a unique blend of creativity, cultivated from moments dancing to Billy Strings or hiking through forests, and a technical acumen sharpened in rapidly changing environments. Whether paddle boarding down a river or diving deep into a sci-fi novel, my activities outside of work only reinforce my values of imagination, open-mindedness, and innovation.

Now, I stand at the exciting intersection of my past achievements and future aspirations, eager to drive innovation, foster growth, and craft impactful frontend experiences. I am all set to not only excel in the tech industry but also to contribute meaningfully to any forward-thinking team that values collaboration, leadership, and creativity.
