About

I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with expertise in functional programming, Elm and JavaScript/TypeScript. I closely collaborate with designers working on complex applications, with focus on UI/UX, accessibility and usability. In addition to that, I have a general knowledge of CI/CD, cloud architecture and working with distributed teams. In the last couple of years I’ve been also involved in leading developer teams and mentoring which makes me a versatile asset that can help in many areas.
