Intern UI/UX Designer & Jr. Frontend Developer

Istanbul, Türkiye

About

I am a Junior Frontend Developer and Intern UI/UX Designer, focused on building clean, responsive, and user-friendly web and mobile interfaces. I have completed 10 months of hands-on frontend mentorship under the guidance of an experienced Lead Frontend Developer, and I continue to improve my skills by building real-world projects. I work with HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6+), and actively build projects using React. Alongside development, I have completed hands-on Figma training and design UI layouts, components, and basic design systems in Figma, ensuring consistency and clarity across interfaces. My frontend background allows me to design interfaces that are realistic to implement, while my design skills help improve layout, spacing, and visual hierarchy. I am currently seeking junior frontend developer or junior UI-focused UI/UX roles where I can grow and contribute to real products.
