Background

About Danni Yao

Highlights: I’m a Front-End Developer with a strong foundation in design and development, combining creativity with code to build intuitive, user-focused websites and applications. With formal training in Interdisciplinary Design from NSCAD University and Web Programming from NSCC, I bring a unique perspective that blends UI/UX design, web development, and problem-solving. I specialize in transforming design concepts into high-performing, accessible websites that look great and function smoothly across all devices. What I do best: • Front-End Development: HTML5, CSS3, SCSS, JavaScript (ES6+), and modern frameworks like React.js • WordPress Development: Custom themes, PHP-based backend logic, plugin integration, and site optimization • UI/UX Implementation: Pixel-perfect execution of design files from Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD • Design Thinking: Deep understanding of layout, typography, micro-interactions, and usability principles I’m experienced in both individual builds and cross-functional team environments. I’ve contributed to a wide range of projects—creating responsive layouts, optimizing site performance, and solving layout and logic challenges with clean, scalable code. Recent highlights: • Built modular components using Figma design systems and implemented them into WordPress and React.js projects • Improved accessibility, responsiveness, and cross-browser consistency for legacy and new builds • Collaborated with designers and developers to align user experience with business goals I’m always learning—most recently diving into React.js, component architecture, and deepening my WordPress back-end skills to grow into a more well-rounded front-end developer. I thrive in teams where design, development, and user experience come together. If you’re looking for a developer who understands both the creative and technical sides of the web.
