Web developer with a strong visual eye and a practical, product-minded approach. I build websites and digital products, understand how the pieces fit together, and use modern AI tools to work through problems and move faster.
Independent projects that show how I approach development, product thinking and visual execution.
A digital media platform built from the ground up, bringing editorial content, search, video streaming and content management into one system.
I built the platform from zero: frontend, backend architecture, Payload CMS, media-processing workflows and third-party integrations.
A music streaming product concept focused on discovery, personalized listening and community-based content management.
Product concept and feature planning, UI/UX, application architecture, development and music-delivery integrations.
A Hebrew, right-to-left personal brand site for Ester Knochen — a content creator and presenter seen on Vort, the Israeli docu-reality series later picked up by Netflix. The site brings her television, podcast, Instagram and brand work into one place, alongside a dedicated section for her self-defence workshops for women.
Design and build end to end: RTL front-end in React, a Sanity Studio with visual editing so the client updates every section herself, and an SEO layer with per-route metadata, structured data and a generated sitemap. Deployed on Vercel.
I combine technical understanding with visual judgment, curiosity and ownership.
I like understanding the problem and how the full system should work, not just completing isolated tasks.
I care about hierarchy, typography, usability and the details that make a digital product feel considered.
I work with AI-assisted development and creative tools, while staying responsible for decisions and the final result.
I work independently, learn quickly and keep moving when a project requires figuring things out.
I enjoy the space between making something work and making it feel right.
My foundation is in frontend development, especially React, JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Through building my own projects, I've also worked with backend architecture, databases, CMS platforms, APIs and media services.
It isn't only code, though. A good part of what I do is visual — layout, type, branded graphics, the way a page actually reads — and I'll move between writing a component from scratch and putting a page together in a builder, depending on what the work needs. The projects I like best are the ones where the development and the design are the same job.
I'm comfortable using AI tools as part of the process, but I don't treat them as a substitute for understanding. I want to know what I'm building, why it works and whether the result is actually good.
