Self-taught frontend developer passionate about turning ideas into clean, user-friendly web experiences.

My path into tech hasn’t been a straight one. It’s been shaped by curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong desire to keep learning. The constant thread through all my professional experiences has been the drive to grow and adapt.

Before discovering code, I studied Hospitality and Tourism and worked in diverse settings, from hotels and restaurants to administrative roles across different industries. Over the years, I have seen how patience, empathy, and attention to small details can completely change how people experience something. This lesson now guides how I think about building for the web.

Each step, even the detours, has taught me that growth doesn’t always happen in a straight line. Sometimes it’s the quiet shifts, the small learnings, that prepare you for the next big step.

I first became curious about web development more than fifteen years ago while experimenting with WordPress, building small freelance websites for local clients, including a hotel-restaurant and a few small businesses. I loved seeing ideas come to life online, but I often reached the limits of what I could customize without understanding the code behind it.

In 2021, I decided to go deeper and began learning through freeCodeCamp, where I earned my Responsive Web Design certification. That experience reignited my passion for creating and sparked a desire to understand how the web works from front to back.

In 2024, I joined #herHack, the largest female-led hackathon in Switzerland, where our team proudly won 2nd place. Working under pressure reminded me how creativity and collaboration can bring bold ideas to life.

The following year, I completed Harvard’s CS50: Computer Science for Web Programming, a professional certification that challenged me to build full-stack projects and connect the dots between logic, design, and user experience.

Each of these experiences has shaped not only my technical foundation but also the way I approach learning: with persistence, curiosity, and a genuine excitement for building.

Debugging and I have a complicated relationship. There were times when the console screamed at me, and one missing semicolon nearly broke my spirit - but never my curiosity.

Every bug has felt like an invitation to dig deeper and understand a little more. Frustrating? Absolutely. But walking away was never an option. There’s always that moment when the problem finally clicks, and it’s worth every bit of the struggle.

For me, coding isn’t just a skill, it’s a way of thinking and expressing ideas with structure and care.

Each project I take on is a chance to improve my process, keep learning, and grow through real challenges and collaboration.
