The Dodo is a digital media brand dedicated to animal stories, reaching millions of readers and viewers through its website and social media channels. Over three years, I helped evolve the platform through a complete redesign, ongoing frontend development, and scalable publishing systems that supported one of the web's largest social‑first media brands.

”Fantastic engineer to work with. He really understood the product from a customer point of view and worked hard to find the best solution to any problem. I would love to work with Codrin again and would absolutely recommend him for any team.

Megan Berry VP of Product, RebelMouse

After maintaining and extending the existing platform, I led the frontend implementation of a complete redesign in collaboration with AREA 17. I also onboarded the client engineering team, trained newly hired developers, and continued evolving the platform through enterprise SEO, social distribution, and advertising integrations.

Independent frontend developer living in ☀️ Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and working worldwide.

I partner with agencies and creative-led teams, building websites, corporate reports, and media platforms from concept to launch.

My development practice is grounded in accessibility, performance, and a deep respect for the creative process. I approach every project by understanding the intent behind the work, refining the implementation until it faithfully reflects the original vision.
