🌿 My name is Lilla. I'm a front-end developer with a love for the creation process and a strong interest in UX.
💻 I have around 4 years of work experience in the field, primarily with React, along with some exposure to Angular, Next.js and now Vue as well.
🧹 I care about writing clean, maintainable code and truly understanding what I’m doing, while also imagining myself in the user’s shoes.
🚀 I aim to grow into a senior developer role where I can support more junior colleagues and help foster a healthy, collaborative team culture.
🤝 I thrive in cross-functional teams and value flexibility, clarity, and purpose — where time is used well and everyone is encouraged to do their best work, while still having fun.
🎓 Former law & international studies grad turned frontend developer — because who likes life on easy mode, amirite?
🧳 After moving abroad, I survived a temp job that went against everything in my nature, pushed through two coding bootcamps, and landed my first dev job in the beginning of 2022
🗣️ I enjoy learning languages — besides "compulsory" Dutch, Norwegian is my current pet project
😵💫 As a junior, I once wrote ~80 lines of code to position a close button on a modal, which the lead dev later replaced with two lines of CSS. I’m still not okay.
When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me:
🐦🐕 Chasing my cheeky lovebirds and dog out of the kitchen
🌱 Fully embracing my ever-growing plantaholism — though I haven’t botany lately
🦆 Wandering around in nature, searching for inner peace and more ducks
🎧📚🎮🖌️ Mixing in a healthy dose of music, reading, gaming, and all sorts of creative, crafty stuffies - ever knocked over a diamond painting tray at 9 PM? So. Much. Fun.

☕ Coffee or Tea?
Yes.
🐞 Is it a bug or a feature?
Ask me again in half an hour.
📅 Where are your pretty green GitHub activity cubes?
Hiding on Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. They said GitHub needed a break from my chaos. 🥴
💻 Where are your side projects?
Probably still stuck in traffic. Also, my plants needed watering. 🤷♀️
🚀 Dream project?
I once had a perfectly documented app with zero bugs, no failing tests and a UI that actually delighted users; a project planned within a realistic timeframe and resourced just right... Alas, then I awoke. ⏰
❔ Tabs vs. spaces?
Tabs. Gives a good excuse as to why my Caps Lock is accidentally on and why all my case sensitive stuff is going belly up. 👌
