About

I’m Sam, a front-end developer who enjoys creating practical solutions for real-world challenges. My background in hospitality taught me how much smoother things can run with the right tools, inspiring me to design and build products that bridge gaps, simplify work, and make life easier for people. One of those projects is Barbid — a platform that connects venues with flexible staff, helping people find shifts that fit their own schedules, preferences, and rates.

I work with modern frameworks and tools such as React, Next.js, Tailwind, TypeScript, Firebase, SQL, Vite, Figma, Netlify, and Vercel to turn ideas into reality. My focus is on building applications that are both functional and intuitive, blending clean design with interactivity to solve real problems. For me, development means turning challenges into practical solutions through curiosity, experimentation, and continuous refinement.

Outside of development, I’m always exploring new projects and thinking about ways technology can improve everyday experiences.
