I'm a front-end developer with 3 years of commercial experience. Most of my work
involves maintaining and improving existing projects using Vue, Nuxt, and React.
I often work with legacy code: fixing bugs, refactoring old modules, updating
dependencies, and improving performance.
I've worked with SSR applications, integrated backend APIs, and actively
collaborated with designers, backend developers, and managers - both in-house
and as a freelancer. I enjoy understanding other people's code and making it better
- even if it's not the most glamorous task.
