About

Liceth Ovalles

Senior Frontend Engineer · Colombia

My Journey

I'm a frontend engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable, user-centric web applications with React, TypeScript, and modern toolchains.

I specialise in design systems, accessible UI, and data-rich SaaS interfaces — always aiming for pixel-perfect detail, performance, and inclusivity.

Beyond Code

When I step away from the screen, I explore kawaii aesthetics, binge k-dramas, journal my thoughts, walk my husky, and pick up new languages.

Ready to build beautiful, accessible, and performant experiences together?
