A front end developer passionate about user experience. Graduated with an engineering degree in telecommunications, but always loved creating beautiful things and see the visible impact of my daily work. I love to create responsive user-friendly websites from scratch using JavaScript /jQuery/ plugins, HTML and CSS, Git / GitHub and other version control systems. My engineering background helps me to pick up tools and technologies quickly. In addition, my experience in user support helps me understand user needs better. An experience being involved in the process of product integration and writing user guides gave me a good base for building user interfaces.
My skills include, but are not limited to:
- Developing interactive pixel perfect mobile friendly websites using web standards and latest web technologies
- Cross-browser compatibility
- Building responsive web sites (webpages, landing pages) from mockups (mobile version)
