I've just written a blog post about my experience with taking three Hack The Box modules and how I use what I learned about security in my project work with a focus on JavaScript and APIs.

Crafting experiences

A front-end project entails a multitude of well-orchestrated pieces, where attention to detail plays a crucial role. Since each piece can have a significant impact on how users perceive and interact with a website, continuously refining my projects is a priority.

In my work, I aim to deliver a seamless experience while using a tech stack that I enjoy working with.

My skills

Responsive design

When designing and building websites, I strive to ensure they look good and perform as expected across browsers and devices.

Technical SEO optimization

My websites score 90%-100% in Core Web Vitals and helped other businesses improve these metrics.

Project management

As a contractor, I've handled every aspect of the project, from client onboarding to project delivery and ongoing maintenance.

Web development

Employing a composable architecture allows me to use the most relevant tools to create web apps that feel modern and fast.

Copywriting

My past 5+ years of copywriting help me create engaging and clear web copy for the websites I develop.

Custom design

Able to design website mockups in Figma based on client specifications, including custom imagery.

My principles for creating websites

Green metrics

This is what I aim for in any project. Slow-loading websites cost users data and patience, so I constantly try to prioritize and educate myself on finding an optimal balance between beautiful design and performance.

Composable architecture

What I like about this approach is that I can build flexible websites where I can use best-in-class microservices that excel at what they do and that can easily be swapped for another at a later time.

Clean interface

The website's design should not overpower its content. Quite the opposite, it should make it stand out. That's why my projects aren't cluttered with clunky sections and distracting animations.

Built to grow

Scalability is important in modern websites. Thus, creating a solid MVP that I can easily build upon is an important goal as I start each project.

Privacy oriented

Security builds trust. That's why I strive to employ secure coding practices while also using 3rd party services that ensure users' online privacy and safety.

What I'm working on

Lately, I've been on a quest to create delightful online shopping experiences by using API-first e-commerce tools. Read more about how I created this project and see what it looks like as a live website. Until then, here's a sneak peek into my code editor!
