Resumé

Front-end developer

I speak fluent HTML, CSS, vanilla JavaScript and React. Over the years I have worked with multiple frontend tools and libraries. You can find examples for all these in my CV below.

Due to my background in marketing and graphic design, I co-operate well with designers, marketing people, product people and users. If you need someone to bridge a gap between pure development and any of these departments to make sure you develop a user-friendly and good-looking product, let's talk!

My top priorities in my work are user experience, the look and feel of a product combined with technical feasability. I have extensive experience in rebranding products, improving old workflows, gather user feedback and translate them into a solution where business goals and user needs can meet.

I'd be happy to talk about the thought process and the results in these previous projects.
