Role: Creative Developer - Owned responsive design decisions and interactive state designs

Timeline: 2 Weeks

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Sanity, Framer Motion, D3.js

Collaborated with a design agency to build a high-performance marketing site for Kinelo, an emerging AI company in San Francisco. While the agency led the branding, I served as the technical partner, bridging the gap between design and code. I engineered complex animations, managed the responsive strategy, and built a content engine that allows the company to scale.

Design-to-Code Implementation: Translated high-fidelity agency mockups into a pixel-perfect, responsive Next.js application.

Interactive UI: Designed and implemented custom animations and micro-interactions to drive user engagement.

CMS Architecture: Structured a flexible Sanity CMS backend, empowering the client to manage content without code.

Frontend: Next.js with TypeScript for robust, type-safe development.

Styling & UI: TailwindCSS for styling, with Framer Motion and D3 for performant animations.

Content Management: Sanity CMS headless architecture for flexible content editing.

Hosting: Vercel for fast, global content delivery.

Rapid Delivery: Successfully moved from design handoff to production deployment in just 14 days, meeting a critical launch deadline.

Performance: Achieved high Core Web Vitals scores (90+) through Next.js image optimization and efficient code-splitting.

Client Autonomy: Eliminated developer bottlenecks by configuring Sanity CMS, allowing the non-technical marketing team to publish blogs and update landing page copy independently.
