01About

Hi, I'm Michael.

Senior Frontend Engineer with 4+ years crafting scalable, high-performance web applications.

I specialize in React, TypeScript, Next.js and modern design systems, turning complex fintech, e-commerce and SaaS challenges into intuitive, production-ready experiences.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new UI patterns, refining animations, or thinking about how to make digital products feel alive.
