MalaysiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with 10+ years building high-performance, scalable web applications. I lead frontend initiatives using React, TypeScript, and Next.js—focused on UI architecture, performance optimization, and intuitive user experiences.
Most recently, I improved university application workflows by ~25% through code splitting, memoization, and build optimization, and I raised code coverage by 30% by championing Jest and React Testing Library. Earlier, I delivered crypto wallet and payment experiences at Coins.ph, built cloud cost dashboards with Vue/Quasar and a Storybook design system, and owned end-to-end cart and checkout flows—boosting app load speed by 35%.
