Hi, I’m Marcelo Maia — an experienced front-end developer focused on building fast, accessible, and well-structured web applications with strong foundations in semantic HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and performance.
I build modern React/Next.js applications with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and practical user experience — choosing the right tools and rendering strategies for each project.
Beyond front-end development, I’m comfortable owning features end-to-end, collaborating across the stack, and adapting quickly to modern AI-assisted workflows.
