Why work with me

Reliable expertise for your projects

Drawing on my experience, dependability, and expertise in both design and development, I make collaboration smooth, efficient, and oriented toward impactful outcomes:

Using JavaScript, I build interactive solutions tailored specifically to your data and project goals.

I work directly with Figma as the design tool to create rough concepts as well as detailed designs and then translate them into clean, efficient code.

I can plug into your team where needed, end-to-end or just for specific steps.

If a custom visualization isn't the right approach for your problem, I'll tell you and suggest the best alternative.

You'll always know what I'm working on, why it matters, when the next deliverable will arrive, and how it fits into the bigger picture.

I go beyond coding to consider the full project context, ensuring all pieces work together smoothly and flagging potential issues as early as possible.

As a freelancer, former employee, and former employer, I know the common pitfalls and challenges of delivering complex projects and how to navigate them efficiently.

My technical skills

In love with JavaScript and data

I build bespoke, web-based charts and interactive visualizations using the languages and technologies of the web. Each project has its own requirements, which often calls for different tech stack combinations. I also handle integration with your existing tech stack—whatever that might be, whether a JavaScript framework, Webflow, WordPress, Ruby on Rails, or others—so the visualizations fit seamlessly into your current workflow.

I don't work with Tableau, PowerBI and similar data viz software.

I specialize in creating fully custom, interactive charts that go beyond the limitations of pre-defined visualization tools. Because of this focus on bespoke, code-driven solutions, I do not offer services for building visualizations in platforms like Tableau, Power BI, or similar out-of-the-box tools. My work is aimed at projects that require the flexibility and creativity only possible with custom web development.
