When I’m not coding, I’m probably gaming, debating movies, anime, or food adventures.

Sparks to Code
Crafting code that drives impact, one line at a time.
I started out as a welding quality assurance engineer, making sure every weld was perfect and every measurement precise. It was tough, unpredictable work — and while I learned how to adapt fast and solve problems on the spot, I also realised something: I’d always been fond of computers since I was a kid, and my real spark wasn’t in steel, it was in code. That shift taught me more than just a new skill set. It taught me how much I value the craft of building things with care and purpose. Now, as a front-end developer, I bring the same obsession with detail into every project — only instead of welds, it’s interfaces, and instead of blueprints, it’s experiences people actually use.

How I build
-
CSS-First
I start with the basics. If something can be built with CSS or vanilla JavaScript, that’s where I begin. This approach keeps my work lightweight, efficient, and free from unnecessary dependencies — code that’s crafted, not cluttered.
-
Framework-Agnostic
Frameworks are tools, not the foundation of my career. With strong fundamentals in JavaScript, I adapt quickly to any framework, treating each as part of a broader toolkit. This makes me flexible and focused on solving problems, not tied to one stack.
-
Accessibility as Standard
Accessibility isn’t an afterthought — it’s built in from the start. I design and code with everyone in mind, ensuring interfaces are usable by people with temporary, permanent, or no impairments at all. Inclusive design isn’t just good practice, it’s what makes products stand out.
