Results-driven full-stack developer building and shipping production features with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python, Django, and Firebase. I turn Figma designs and business requirements into responsive, accessible UI, and collaborate closely with mobile teams on shared architecture. Career-changer from professional kitchens into tech — I bring real pressure-tested teamwork and delivery discipline to engineering work, plus practical, day-to-day experience using AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Codex) to speed up development.
