NICOLE GATMAITAN

Front-End Developer

About

I'm a Front-End Developer specializing in React.js, JavaScript (ES6+), and UI/UX design, with a passion for building scalable, high-performance web applications. I’ve led front-end development efforts across multiple projects, collaborating with designers, developers, and stakeholders to create seamless digital experiences.

Based in Dallas, TX, I’m open to remote, hybrid, or relocation opportunities. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can drive innovation, improve efficiency, and create meaningful digital experiences. I also enjoy solving complex problems, streamlining workflows, and fostering collaboration across teams. As I grow in my career, I’m focused on developing leadership skills and making a broader impact on product and team success.

Outside of work, you’ll find me at Pilates, lifting at the gym, getting lost in a good book, or crocheting something new. I also love spending time with my husband and two dogs, going to concerts, and hanging out with friends and family.
