Front End Developer

Rachel is a Front End Developer with a strong focus on UI/UX and a passion for building intuitive, user-centric web applications.

With over five years of experience as a Software Engineer, and the past three focused on Front End, Rachel brings deep knowledge of modern JavaScript frameworks and a thoughtful, product-driven mindset to her work. She’s especially passionate about ensuring the user journey is not just functional, but enjoyable. Rachel is always curious about the “why” behind a product, which shows in her work.
