the web.
Frontend developer focused on Next.js, React & TypeScript. I build practical, fast, and delightful web apps — with care for the small details that make a big difference.
A developer who sweats the details.
Hello — I am Graylen, a frontend developer who turns ideas into interactive, accessible, user‑friendly web experiences.
My expertise sits in React, Next.js and TypeScript — building production interfaces that feel fast, accessible, and visually cohesive. I have shipped on projects like Skinstric AI and mentor 20+ developers at Frontend Simplified.
Every project I take on is a chance to craft something genuinely functional, accessible, and visually cohesive — from the type ramp down to the loading state nobody else thought to design.
Off‑screen, I read about systems design, ship side projects on weekends, and treat my résumé like a product spec.
Where I have shipped.
A short, recent track record. Measurable outcomes over titles.
Peer Mentor — Frontend Development (React & Next.js)
Recognized in the top 5% of my cohort for technical excellence and mentorship. Guided 20+ students through code reviews, debugging sessions, and architecture decisions. Led workshops on frontend performance, then built reusable component libraries the cohort still ships against.
Frontend Engineer
Architected a real-time skin-analysis platform on Next.js using OpenAI's Vision API, achieving ~98% detection accuracy across diverse skin conditions. Built a responsive UI with TailwindCSS, GSAP and bespoke animations; leveraged Next.js Server Components and Lottie to keep analysis under two seconds. Designed a modular component library to enable rapid A/B testing and integrated a 4D Mini model for sharper texture and tone accuracy.
The stack I reach for.
A working set, not a wishlist. Items marked ● are what I am sharpest on right now.
Let us build something exceptional.
