Component architecture
A component layer that a second developer can read: clear props, colocated state, and hooks extracted only when logic is genuinely shared.
Web & Application Development
React & frontend development
Frontend work is where design intent meets the browser, and it is judged on things users never name: how fast the first screen paints, whether the layout jumps while loading, whether it can be used with a keyboard, whether it survives a slow connection.
React is a good default for interfaces with real state. It is not a good default for a marketing site. That is usually better as static HTML with a little JavaScript, which is exactly why this site ships in both forms. Picking correctly is part of the job.
How I work on it
Process
Adjusted to the job, but this is the shape it usually takes.
-
Tokens before components
Colour, type scale, spacing and easing get defined once. Everything downstream references them.
-
Build the hard state first
Empty, loading, error and too-much-content states are designed alongside the happy path, not bolted on later.
-
Test on a real device
A mid-range Android on a throttled connection, not just a desktop with fast Wi-Fi.
-
Audit before launch
Lighthouse, keyboard-only walkthrough, and a screen reader pass over the main flows.
Questions
Things people ask
It can, but client-side-only rendering makes it harder than it needs to be. Google will render JavaScript, though not instantly and not always completely. For anything that depends on search traffic I prerender or server-render the pages so the HTML is complete on first response.
They can. The rules that keep them cheap are: animate only transform and opacity, keep the main thread free during scroll, lazy-load 3D below the fold, and disable expensive effects on low-end devices and when prefers-reduced-motion is set.
Yes. I would rather have the Figma file plus a short conversation about intent than the file alone, knowing which spacing is deliberate and which is incidental saves a lot of back and forth.
