United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years building high-impact, scalable web applications across ad tech, e-commerce, web gaming, and enterprise tools. I focus on component-driven UI architecture, performance optimization, accessibility (WCAG), and clean maintainable code, and I have led feature development that supported millions of users and improved conversion and engagement metrics.
My recent experience includes delivering large consumer features on web platforms, architecting shared component libraries with Storybook and Material-UI, optimizing backend services and media delivery with Node.js and AWS, and raising test and performance standards using Jest, Cypress, and Lighthouse. I enjoy solving cross-team integration challenges and driving measurable outcomes such as reduced ad-creation time, improved load performance, and higher repeat-user engagement.
