Strong Figma skills and a shipped portfolio of design + code work. - Front-end strong: Expert in React, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS (layouts, animations, responsive design). You care about spacing, typography, and micro-interactions. - Performance-minded: Comfortable profiling, code-splitting, image/asset strategy, caching/CDN, and keeping bundles lean. - Pragmatic & fast: You scope well, communicate clearly, and ship iteratively without sacrificing polish. - Entrepreneurial: High-ownership, comfortable with ambiguity.
