What I'm looking for
Frontend Tech Lead with 10+ years building SaaS products in fintech, cybersecurity, and e-commerce. I work at the product level. I own architecture decisions that affect the whole org. I set the engineering standards, and I keep design, product, and backend moving in the same direction.
I shipped an LLM-powered code review assistant to production, built on the Anthropic API, embedded in GitHub Actions CI. It compressed the automated feedback cycle from 2–4 hours to under 5 minutes per PR - and brought TypeScript static analysis coverage across a Turborepo monorepo from 0% to 100%.
Over 5 years at ShelterZoom - an enterprise cybersecurity SaaS with real-time collaboration, document workflows, and e-signatures - I grew from Senior into the Frontend Tech Lead role, leading a 5-engineer team for the last 3. I drove the full migration from a monolithic frontend to a Turborepo monorepo, set the engineering standards, moved us to weekly releases, and cut page load times by 35%.
What I'm good at is owning frontend architecture end-to-end, growing engineering teams and raising their bar, and turning a vague product brief into something scalable and performant.
