Website Developer

Serving the greater Chicagoland
and beyond.

Hi, my name is Lei Rivera. I'm an entry-level software engineer specializing in website development. As a freelance web developer, my focus is on helping you reach more customers with a reliable online presence. I build clean, easy-to-use websites that highlight your business and make a strong first impression. While I specialize in simple static sites for now, I also have the mindset and skills to take on larger, more complex projects as the needs of your business grow. Whether it's for a simple landing page or a full-on web application down the road, I create solutions that are simple, efficient, and tailored to your goals. I'm quick to adapt, great at problem-solving, and I communicate clearly — so you can get a professional, polished site without the stress or confusing tech talk. My goal is to make the process easy and deliver a website that works for you and your customers.

My Skillset

As an entry-level web developer, alongside my technical skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I'm commited to continuous growth— constantly expanding my skillset, learning new tools, strengthening my abilities, and improving my approach to problem-solving. My focus is on building clean, efficient websites that help businesses grow while always pushing myself to deliver better, more efficient solutions with every project. Here are just a few of my soft skills that clients consistently appreciate:

  • Passion for Web Programming
  • Strong Problem Solving & Critical Thinking
  • Communication & Client Collaboration
  • Understanding of Business Needs
  • Flexibility and Adaptability
  • Web Performance & Optimization

Some of My Work

Here is some of my recent work, including my first client project and my own personal site. While I'm still early in my journey, I'm actively taking on new client work to build my portfolio, learn new techniques, and expand my skillset. Each project is an opportunity for me to strengthen my abilities — improving the design, performance, and overall experience of the websites I deliver, so clients receive work that gets better every time.

A Natural Pest Solution

This is my first client website for a small local pest company based in Joliet, IL. The site showcases common pest issues customers face, explains the company's minimally-chemical treatment approach, highlights their expertise, and includes a contact form for easy outreach. This project helped me to strengthen my front-end skills, improve my layout and design techniques, and deliver a website that builds trust and confidence in potential customers.

Lei Rivera: Web Developer

What kind of web developer would I be if I didn't have my own website? This portfolio began with a starter layout that I customized to fit my own style and needs, which also prepares me to work with clients who already have a design or structure in mind. I regularly update and improve this website to reflect my growth as my skills expand and I gain more experience.
