With over a decade of experience in designing and developing user-centred, responsive digital products, I specialize in creating clean, high-performance front-end solutions. My work spans industries such as e-commerce, SaaS, government, healthcare, media, and education. I’m skilled in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), React, Vue, WordPress, and Web Components, and I’m proficient in design tools like Figma, Sketch, and Miro.
Government & accessibility-focused design systems
I’ve developed and optimized scalable, WCAG-compliant design systems for government clients, streamlining their digital services while ensuring accessibility and performance. Highlights of this work include:
- Building reusable components (React & Web Components) to create consistent and accessible interfaces.
- Implementing GitHub Actions & Release-Please for automated deployments and faster release cycles.
- Designing and maintaining design tokens to ensure visual consistency across multiple teams and services.
- Using advanced CSS techniques like Flexbox, Grid, and container queries to ensure responsive designs.
Additionally, I’ve led the design and implementation of design systems for private sector companies, such as Bellwether Coffee, to help build cohesive, scalable UI components for their websites and applications.
Startup & freelance experience
Since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of working on diverse projects across various industries. Whether as the sole developer on a startup team or collaborating with clients as a freelancer, I bring a hands-on approach to both development and design.
At the start-up Parasail Health, I was the sole Front-End Developer, where I:
- Built a React-based web app and marketing site from scratch.
- Developed a custom micro CSS framework (later featured in FrontEnd Focus Issue #275).
- Optimized performance, integrated APIs, and ensured UX consistency across the platform.
As a freelancer, I have designed and developed:
- Responsive websites and web applications using technologies like React, Next.js, WordPress, Django , Vue, HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
- Scalable design systems for startups and small businesses, ensuring visual and functional consistency across teams and products.
- User-centred UI designs, focusing on accessibility and performance for various clients, including e-commerce sites, SaaS platforms, and small business websites.
I’ve worked directly with clients to translate their vision into intuitive, accessible, and performant digital products - always with a focus on seamless user experiences and efficient, maintainable code.
Client & manager testimonials:
"I am not being hyperbolic when I say this: x is the best front-end developer I have ever worked with, ever. She not only set up her team with tools to develop UI but also lead the implementation of a framework that is an utter game changer for our company. x is always very polished and professional but can get into the weeds on design and development when its needed. I so enjoy working with x and I hope our paths cross again."
— Manager at Bellwether Coffee
"A straight five star rating always seems a bit thoughtless, but Melanie has done such great work for us, she simply deserves no less than five stars. It's a pleasure to work with her, first of all because or her super fast and professional work, but also because of her positive attitude and her habit of thinking beyond a written job description and bringing in her own ideas and optimizations. She has managed to get up to speed on our technical frame work in no time and has always been available even for short notice updates or new iterations."
— Freelance Client (Motourismo)
Marketing pages & high-profile client projects
Earlier in my career, I created over 17 high-profile marketing websites for clients such as The Huffington Post, HooplaKidz, and BMG while working at BroadbandTV. I also maintained 23+ company websites and developed internal tools, such as an onboarding app for YouTube partners.
Technical Skills:
- Front-End Development: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), React, Vue, Web Components, WordPress
- UI/UX Design: Figma, Sketch, Miro, user flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes
- Performance & optimization: Lighthouse audits, API optimization, accessibility testing
- DevOps & collaboration: Git, GitHub Actions, automated release pipelines, code quality practices, dependency management (Renovate)
Let’s build something together
I’m always excited to collaborate on new projects and help bring your digital ideas to life. Whether you need a responsive website, a scalable design system, or a user-friendly web app, I’m here to make it happen.
Feel free to send me a message, and we can chat about how I can support your next project. I’m happy to answer any questions, provide a detailed estimate, or simply discuss your vision. Let’s see how we can work together to create something amazing.
