Let me introduce myself

I’m a frontend developer specialising in React, TypeScript, and JavaScript. I combine strong coding skills with a focus on digital accessibility, creating websites and applications that are both user-friendly and mission-focused.

Before transitioning into frontend development, I worked in marketing and eCommerce, where I collaborated with developers to troubleshoot web issues via Jira, translate wireframes into live pages, and lead a small team to improve workflows. My time at AbilityNet introduced me to digital accessibility and the importance of inclusive online spaces, inspiring me to earn my IAAP CPACC certification and to develop my frontend skills.Download a copy of my CV
