Junior front-end developer CV
BIO / ABOUT
My name is Lena Sitnikova and I’m a Web designer and developer, also known as Xiu Xiu.
My portfolio consists of many initiatives across Digital Art and Design, mainly from the web field. I have considerable experience in designing and developing websites using building platforms (Tilda, Cargo Collective, Webflow) + code modifications. The latest projects include some fully coded websites that runs on Cargo.site. During 2021-2023 I gained 40+ international awards and mentions (including Behance UI/UX ribbon, x2 404foundation weekly favourite, x4 Awwwards HM, and other).
My main focus now stands in the intersection of code and design. Currently I study generative design, creative coding and processing, whereas my working interest has shifter towards front-end development.
Aside of main working experience, I teach Tilda developers basics of HTML/CSS/JS and code modifications (Code Mode course); I run
a youtube channel dedicated to code modifications for Cargo Collective; I also have some public speaking experience,
and I curate a non-commercial project and design gallery
“the design dump”.
