About me.
My name is Claudia Benito, and I am a front-end developer with experience building usable and performant SPAs and JAMstack sites. I am an avid learner and diligent developer who enjoys working in multidisciplinary teams.
First Steps.
I first discovered web development while studying for a Master's in Bioinformatics in 2020.
I realised it was a creative field mixed with problem-solving and an ever-evolving area. Because of this, I became very interested and decided to drop out of my master's and enrolled in a full-stack boot camp to dedicate 100% of my time.
As an avid learner with a curious mind, I have kept staying up-to-date by reading blogs, doing courses in FrontEndMasters and Pluralsight, subscribing to newsletters and developing personal open-sourced projects to practice and develop new skills.
My Experience.
I have worked in small companies and startups where I honed my front-end skills while collaborating with other software engineers and product designers to deliver single-page applications (SPAs) and JAMstack websites with seamless functionality and user experience that were usable and performant.
I have a solid foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript and work experience in modern front-end frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular. I follow best practices to deliver clean, maintainable, and efficient code.
With a focus on developing user interfaces that are seamless and impactful and an interest in UX design, I am committed to not only meeting technical requirements but also ensuring that the UI is intuitive, accessible and visually appealing.
