Hey there! I’m a creative tech innovator and Front-End Developer with over three years of experience crafting pixel-perfect, responsive web designs. My mantra? “Desktop and mobile first, always!”

Beyond coding, I’m a storyteller at heart, capturing moments through photography, diving into literature, and exploring cinema. I thrive on continuous learning and pushing the boundaries of digital creativity. I’ve also taken on leadership roles in academic projects, from documenting lockdown experiences through photography to exploring societal conflicts and resolutions. These experiences have shaped my approach to technology, blending creativity, research, and problem-solving.

As the curator of Smart Coding, a newsletter focused on HTML Canvas, front-end development, and interactive web design, I share insights that help developers bring their projects to life. The newsletter now has an audio edition on Spotify, where I transform each article into an engaging listening experience for developers and creators who love learning on the go.

I’m also the author of Expressive Emojis: Adding Playful Expressions with HTML, CSS & JS, a hands-on guide to making web interactions more dynamic and engaging. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this book unlocks creative possibilities for web animation and UI enhancement.

My upcoming book, Friends: The Morphing Chronicles – A Tale of Faces, Laughter & Unlikely Swaps, takes creativity a step further. It explores the fascinating world of face morphing and swapping using Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Clerk authentication, and my own AI model, allowing users to swap faces with each other in real-time through a fun, interactive web experience. It’s where code meets imagination, turning technical concepts into playful, visual storytelling.

Looking for an engaging speaker? I bring tech, creativity, and storytelling together, making complex topics fun, accessible, and interactive. Whether it’s a deep dive into web design, digital creativity, or user engagement, I deliver talks that leave a lasting impact. Let’s connect and explore how I can add value to your next event!
