Portrait of Polina

For client projects and product teams.

I'm Polina, a web and mobile developer. I build custom sites and apps for boutique brands, clinics, and hospitality businesses, and I work with startups and tech companies on frontend and native mobile engineering.

Whether you are commissioning a project or hiring for a role, you work with me directly. The code is documented, accessible, and built to hold up with real users and real roadmaps.

How I build product

I work like a product engineer: half logic, half craft. I care why something ships as much as how well it's made. These hold on every engagement, from a single client page to product built with a team.

Start from the problem

I build from the problem, not the ticket: who it's for, what success looks like, what to leave out. Often the best decision is the feature we choose not to ship.

Details are the product

Spacing, motion, the empty state, the wording of an error. The parts people feel but rarely name. Taste is part of the engineering, and I sweat it.

Accessible by default

WCAG 2.2 AA is where I start, not something patched in at the end. Semantic markup, real keyboard paths, and readable contrast are decided in the first commit.

Built to be maintained

Typed, documented code, organized so the next developer can read it without me in the room. The handoff is part of the work, not an afterthought.

Verified, not assumed

Behavior and performance are checked on real devices and slower connections. If a claim is in the copy, it holds up in the browser.

Clear before clever

Scope, decisions, and trade-offs stay written down and easy to follow. A simple solution that holds up beats an impressive one that doesn't.

How I work

Planning

We align on goals, users, and what needs to ship. Scope, timeline, and ownership are clear before design or implementation starts.


Design

Layout and interaction follow your brand or design system. Visuals and flows are reviewed and approved before code.


Development

I ship in TypeScript, React, Next.js, and native Swift or React Native when mobile is in scope. Accessibility and performance are part of the baseline.


Launch

Real-device testing, deployment, and handoff: a live product for clients, or documented work your team can run in production.

Selected work

Client projects that show how I approach production frontend work: multilingual content, accessible UI, and code meant to stay maintainable.


What I work with

React
Component-driven UI for marketing sites and product surfaces.

Next.js
Full-stack web apps, SSR, and reliable API and form handling.

Tailwind CSS
Consistent styling with design tokens that scale across a codebase.

TypeScript
Typed code that holds up as features and teams grow.

Swift & React Native
Native iOS and cross-platform mobile when the product needs an app.
