Summary
Nilana Rocha is a Junior Software Engineer based in Sydney with eight years of professional experience and a distinctive background in architecture that informs her pragmatic, design-conscious approach to web development. She builds responsive, accessible frontends with React, Next.js and modern CSS systems (Chakra-UI, Tailwind) and pairs them with backend work in Ruby/Rails and Node.js, backed by Postgres and Git-based workflows. At IAG and DNX Solutions she contributed to Progressive Web Apps, API integrations, test automation with Jest and React Testing Library, and practiced TDD and CI in Agile teams. Her portfolio includes full-stack projects from General Assembly—real-estate and admin apps—demonstrating hands-on deployment to Heroku and Github Pages. Beyond coding, Nilana leverages her architecture training and AutoCAD experience to think spatially about UI/UX and system structure, improving semantic HTML and accessibility in the products she ships.
