Sure! I had been working as a frontend developer for 4 years before going freelance - which will definitely contribute to the growth.

I worked exclusively on the frontend, integrating with many difference CMS and technologies including WordPress, CraftCMS, Kentico and stuff I'd practiced in my own time.

I now focus exclusively on headless technologies, providing the frontend for my clients. My preferred tools are react with Nextjs/Gatsby and tailwind but I'm flexible and can work to many different approaches.

Education-wise, I have a university degree but I don't even mention that to freelance clients. I wouldn't say it has been relevant since my second job.

Thanks, that puts it into perspective. I think freelancing can be a very attractive work model, but with sufficient experience.
