My Journey

Hello! I'm Alex, a Frontend Developer who loves building user-friendly web applications. I started in tech as a system administrator, managing servers and networks. My interest shifted when I wrote a script to process a database of phone numbers for marketing—it showed me how much I enjoyed solving creative challenges through code.

This led me to web development, beginning with a fun side project. Soon after, I landed my first job working with Vue.js and D3.js. While Vue was great for smaller apps, I moved to React.js for bigger projects and haven’t looked back.

Over time, I’ve learned the value of TypeScript for managing complex code and the importance of testing to keep things running smoothly.I’ve worked on a variety of projects, from startups to larger companies, both in-office and remotely, including for US-based teams. I focus on practical solutions and doing things right, not just checking boxes.
