## Modern Front-End Development with React, Next.js & Headless WordPress

Polina is a Front-End Developer focused on building responsive, visually polished, and maintainable web applications. Her technical foundation spans HTML5, CSS3, SCSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js — the tools she uses to turn complex designs into fast, consistent interfaces.

Her work combines modern front-end development with headless architecture. She integrates REST and GraphQL APIs, works with Headless WordPress using ACF and Gutenberg, and uses Redux Toolkit to keep application state predictable as products grow. Experience with Tailwind CSS, MUI, and Bootstrap helps her deliver interfaces efficiently without losing visual accuracy.

Since joining Mettevo in April 2023, Polina has contributed to dynamic Next.js websites, Headless WordPress builds, and custom WordPress front ends. Her approach is careful and growth-oriented: clean code, responsive behavior, SEO-friendly implementation, and a user experience that remains reliable across devices.
