Professional Experience · Salt Technology

• Built the marketplace frontend in Next.js as reusable components for featured toys, product updates and artist listings
• Rendered product content dynamically, so new drops and updates flowed through without template work
• Built mobile-first layouts rather than scaling a desktop design down
• Implemented client-side form validation and the UI transitions around key interactions
• Kept an image-heavy catalogue fast with lazy loading, image compression and code splitting

The frontend needed to handle dynamic, image-heavy product content at marketplace scale while staying fast and usable on mobile, where much of this audience browses.

• Prioritized mobile-first layout decisions and progressive image loading given the visual, discovery-driven nature of the product.

• Built reusable product and listing components with lazy-loaded, optimized imagery
• Applied code splitting to keep initial load lean across marketplace pages
• Used lazy loading and image optimization as the primary levers for keeping an image-heavy marketplace fast

Kick Fund Bite shipped as a mobile-first marketplace frontend supporting artist and product discovery.
