Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about frontend development

What frontend frameworks do you work with?

Vue.js is my primary frontend framework - I've been using it extensively for several years. I also build static sites with Astro, Nuxt, and Eleventy, and can work with vanilla JavaScript or jQuery when needed for legacy projects.

Do you work on full-stack projects or frontend only?

Both! I'm a full-stack developer with PHP/Laravel expertise, so I often build complete applications with Laravel backends and Vue.js frontends. But I'm also happy to work on frontend-only projects with your existing API or backend team.

Can you work from Figma/Sketch designs?

Absolutely. I regularly implement designs from Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD. I focus on pixel-perfect implementation while ensuring the code is clean, maintainable, and performs well.

Do you use Tailwind CSS?

Yes, Tailwind CSS is my preferred styling approach for new projects. I also have experience with SCSS, Bootstrap, and custom CSS depending on project requirements.

Can you help with an existing frontend codebase?

Yes, I regularly work on existing projects - whether that's adding features, fixing bugs, improving performance, or refactoring code. I can also help modernise legacy jQuery applications to modern frameworks.

What about testing and code quality?

I write clean, documented code and can implement testing with Jest, Vitest, or Cypress depending on your needs. For Vue projects, I typically use Vue Test Utils for component testing.
