What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior front-end role where I can build scalable React/Next.js applications, improve UI quality and accessibility, and own testing with Jest to keep coverage high while collaborating closely to deliver measurable user impact.

I’m a senior software professional with more than 9 years of experience developing scalable, highly efficient front ends for web and mobile applications—7 years in ReactJS and 2 years in AngularJS. I focus on delivering reliable user experiences with strong engineering practices, from component design to automated testing.

In my recent roles, I’ve strengthened UI quality and usability by enhancing website branding and data field configurations using JSON props and React patterns. I also streamlined workflows for new insurance products, improving engagement and making member detail capture more intuitive. I’ve built maintainable React code, including implementing a single useState hook for ReactJS components to improve clarity and collaboration.

Testing and performance are central to how I work. I achieved 90% test coverage in unit testing with Jest, and I’m comfortable using Enzyme for component-level validation. I’ve also worked with state and async flows using Redux, React-sagas, and Redux-thunk, and I’ve supported modern frameworks like Next.js for production-grade front-end delivery.

My background spans multiple industries and architectures, including micro-frontend work, Storybook-driven component development, and complex data-driven UIs. I’ve built payment processing and e-commerce experiences, created a product “Passport” with 180+ fields including a PDF generator and data visualizations using ReactJS and D3.js, and developed modular UI components with AngularJS and Ionic. I’m at my best when partnering with teams to turn requirements into dependable, accessible, and scalable front-end systems.
