Hi, I'm Elena Rosa Wheelen, a Front-end Engineer based in South Florida who loves making everyday life a little easier. I'm driven by curiosity and creativity, often building projects that start as simple ideas or personal challenges. For me, each project is a chance to learn, experiment, and create something meaningful.

What Inspires Me

What inspires me most is the endless opportunity to learn and create. I'm fascinated by how technology can bring ideas to life and connect people in meaningful ways. The feeling of building something impactful, both for users and behind the scenes, keeps me motivated every day.

How I Learn

Whenever I'm learning something new, I like to jump right in and experiment. I use a mix of resources like documentation, tutorials, templates, and LLM chats to understand new concepts and grow my skills. I also believe in learning from others and often reach out to both peers and mentors to hear their insights, because collaboration and curiosity go hand in hand.

Behind the Pixels

In my downtime, I enjoy developing personal projects, learning something new, hitting the gym, gaming with friends, or reading manhwa.
