Hi nice to meet you
I am Gary, a front end developer

Why I am the Right Choice for Your Engineering Team:

TLDR

If you are seeking a developer who combines clean, responsive code with genuine empathy for the end user, I bring both technical expertise and user-centered thinking to every project. I am skilled in developing front-end components and interactive web experiences with a strong focus on usability, accessibility, and performance.

My name is Gary and my goal is not only to build functional solutions but to create interfaces that users find intuitive, engaging, and enjoyable to use. I hope we can work together so that we can create impactful software.
