Vlad Goran
 
Frontend Engineer
 
 
I've been working on the web platform for over 10 years.
 
I specialise in building interfaces for applications and
live dashboards.
 
I absolutely love working on projects that involve either
interactive data visualisation or media streaming.
I've had extensive experience with both.
 
I've also mentored colleagues and did training and workshops on
React and JavaScript.
 
I'm currently available for hire in Berlin and for
remote projects anywhere in the world.
