Leads frontend development across client websites and the studio's own web infrastructure. Implements pixel-precise interfaces from Figma files, integrates third-party APIs and CMS platforms, and owns code quality across all digital deliverables. Works directly with the creative team to bridge the gap between design and production.

Built responsive frontend components for media and job application platforms using React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS. Developed a library of reusable UI components from design mockups, improving visual consistency across multiple application interfaces. Consumed REST APIs to power dynamic content and user-facing workflows. Managed live website content through Strapi CMS and participated in collaborative code reviews via Git and GitHub. Collaborated daily with backend engineers to ensure smooth API integration and end-to-end functionality.

Contributed to the development and ongoing maintenance of TheLoremi's web applications using React and Next.js. Took design mockups from concept to responsive production UI, consistently meeting the team's design standards. Played an active role in debugging, performance profiling, and frontend optimisation — shaving load times and improving Lighthouse scores. Built a suite of reusable components that became foundational to the product's front-end consistency.

Completed an intensive, project-based engineering programme covering JavaScript (ES6+), React, Git, GitHub, and Vercel deployment workflows. Shipped three end-to-end web projects across the training period. Developed foundational knowledge of component architecture, version control, and the collaborative practices that underpin professional engineering teams.
