Alisa UmnovaSenior Web Developer

Good evening from Vlorë, Albania

Hi, I'm Alisa.

I make the web
fastflexiblemodulardependable

I moved a WordPress site to Astro and lifted its PageSpeed score from 30 to 90.

Custom Gutenberg blocks built with React and PHP, so editors can shape pages without breaking the design.

Vue 3 micro-frontends on Vite Module Federation, sharing one UI library with 20+ engineers.

Code reviewed, tested with Vitest and Playwright, and released alongside SRE and DevOps.
