Karolina Placek

Hi, I'm Karolina, a frontend developer based in The Hague.

With almost 7 years of experience, I combine strong technical skills with a deep sense of form and aesthetics.

I do my best work on small, highly collaborative teams, where the main driver is exceptional user experience. I care about the details and enjoy writing code by hand. My non-coding hours go to climbing, sewing, and puzzles.

Take a look at my projects, I'm very proud of them.
