about

Hi,

I love developing minimal and intuitive UI for digital products that offer users an enjoyable experience. Most of the time you can find me fiddling around with CSS and JavaScript on CodePen or reading an article on UX design. I am also really passionate about teaching and take any opportunity I get to help mentor junior developers and share my technical expertise with them.

Besides tech, I enjoy photography and sports.
