What I'm looking for

I’m looking to keep building production-ready, high-performance frontend experiences—leading quality through code reviews and Jest, optimizing Core Web Vitals, and leveraging React/Next.js with AI-assisted workflows for faster delivery.

I’m a Senior Frontend Engineer with 8.7+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications. I deliver responsive, user-centric experiences by engineering reusable UI components and optimizing performance around Core Web Vitals.

Across my roles at Guidesly, Crest Venue and Entertainment Software, Doodleblue Innovations, and XcelPros, I’ve developed and enhanced production frontend modules using React.js, Next.js, and TypeScript. I’ve also implemented and improved features like chat and sharing experiences, media workflows (including video trimming and lazy loading), and performance-focused rendering improvements.

I take a quality-first approach—owning unit testing with Jest, leading code reviews, and collaborating in Agile delivery. I also embrace AI-assisted development with ChatGPT, Amazon Q, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate code generation, debugging, refactoring, documentation, and developer productivity.
