Summary
Hi, this is Dhana 😊
I’m a frontend-first full-stack developer who genuinely enjoys building things that feel good to use. I care a lot about clean UI, accessibility, and performance, and I love turning designs and ideas into smooth, intuitive experiences.
I’ve been working as a developer for over 4 years now, across both startups and large companies, building web applications used by thousands of users. I work comfortably across the full stack from crafting thoughtful frontend interfaces to integrating APIs and backend services using Node.js, PostgreSQL, and the .NET ecosystem.
I really enjoy collaborating with designers, backend engineers, and product managers, and I’m someone who values clean code, clear communication, and continuous improvement.
