Building user-first
Web Experiences
Hola! I’m Renata, a Frontend Engineer crafting thoughtful, user-centered interfaces with modern web technologies.
Passionate about creating impactful web experiences
I’m a frontend engineer with nearly 6 years of experience building, scaling, and maintaining high-traffic, customer-facing web applications. I specialise in modern JavaScript frameworks such as Svelte, React, and Next.js, with strong expertise in TypeScript. I have a proven track record of leading frontend delivery, designing component libraries and design systems, and improving performance, accessibility, and developer experience.
I enjoy mentoring and supporting team growth through thoughtful code reviews and hands-on guidance for junior developers. I thrive in collaborative, cross-functional environments and enjoy partnering closely with designers, product managers, and backend engineers.
Outside of my day-to-day role, I mentor aspiring developers through organisations such as CodeFirstGirls, Codebar, and Founders and Coders. When I’m not coding, you’ll usually find me outdoors, gardening, running, skiing, or cycling.
A few more facts about me:
- I’m half Czech and half Venezuelan
- I speak Spanish, English and Czech
- I’ve been living in London for nearly 10 years
- I’m an enthusiastic home baker
- I ran my first two marathons in 2025!
Featured Work
A selection of projects where I led frontend delivery from architecture through to launch.

Frontend and experience direction for Somewhere Good’s video-first e-commerce platform, delivered in close collaboration with ANCC.
