Nikita Dudson
Frontend Developer
Hello! I’m Nikita, a frontend developer with a background in design. I enjoy making good things with good people, and building useful, usable and well-crafted digital applications and websites.
About
I started out in design, but over the past few years web development has gradually pulled me in. The curiosity, the problem solving, the chance to build things for real and bring ideas to life.
I care about the craft and getting the details right. Turning design into well-structured and maintainable code, building good user experiences, and making sure accessibility and performance are considered from the start.
The way we work is important to me as well. I enjoy building the foundations - creating design systems and bridging the gap between disciplines. So we all have a shared understanding and toolkit to work from.
But most importantly, I thrive working in great teams. Where we push each other, laugh a lot, and genuinely care about what we’re making together.
