What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my skills in front-end development and UX design.

With over a decade of experience as a Senior Front-End & UX Engineer, I specialize in crafting scalable, user-first solutions. My journey has been defined by my ability to blend technical excellence with user-centric methodologies, utilizing tools like React.js, Angular 2+, and TypeScript. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing to create high-performance applications.

At Device Driven, I led the front-end development for a high-traffic e-commerce platform, achieving a 35% improvement in page speed and a 20% increase in user retention. My collaborative approach with UX teams has allowed me to refine workflows based on user research and heatmap analytics. I am passionate about mentoring junior developers and fostering a culture of Agile/Scrum practices, ensuring that our projects not only meet but exceed user expectations.
