What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own front-end architecture and performance/SEO/accessibility delivery on large ecommerce or web platforms, partnering with product, UI/UX, and backend teams to ship maintainable React-based features.

I lead front-end architecture and technical direction for Apexon’s ecommerce platform, aligning delivery with performance, SEO, and accessibility. I’ve been promoting best practices through code reviews and mentorship while coordinating closely with product, UI/UX, and backend teams.

Before that, I built and maintained high-performance UI for PDP, PLP, cart, and checkout flows, and I improved page load times using code-splitting, lazy loading, and render-blocking reduction. I also designed a Promo Scheduling application from scratch in React JS to help stakeholders schedule and unschedule promotions more efficiently.

I’ve integrated sign-in experiences (Google Sign-In, Klarna, and Apple Sign-In) and worked to keep the experience inclusive through WCAG 2.1 compliance and technical SEO. From FutureReadyMedia, I developed responsive sites, ecommerce front ends, and WordPress CMS experiences for teams to update content independently.
