Claire Valant, Front End Developer

Hello, I'm Claire

I'm a skilled front end developer in Toronto’s West End. I have experience with fast-paced agency-style SaaS platform customizations. I take pride in improving development processes, tooling, and documentation for my team.

Writing neat, scalable, and modular code is important to me. I care deeply that all users can easily interact with websites and applications I touch and that my team can easily pick up code I write.

I'm interested in expanding into the infrastructure and devops world and am starting with AWS and Linux certifications.

In my spare time, you can find me drawing and painting, roller skating, playing guitar, and doing small hand poked tattoos!

Here's what I've made
