I work with JavaScript on a daily basis, for the last several years. Still manage to learn something new almost every day :)

I was an early adopter of React and have been using it since before it was cool.

I know HTML very well and try to always write concise, expressive and semantic markup. Often I manage to create what others do in JS, in pure HTML/CSS.

I am able to make magic in CSS and implement almost anything! Unlike many, I love CSS and view it's shortcomings as challenges.

Extensive experience setting up, tuning, migrating to and running Webpack 1-4 in multiple large scale projects in production.
