Frontend Engineer and Lead Developer with 5+ years building production Next.js/React web applications and leading frontend architecture.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Frontend Engineer with 5+ years of experience building production web applications, and I’m currently serving as Lead Developer on a Next.js e-learning platform. I’m known for owning frontend architecture, making key library and implementation decisions, and translating business requirements into technical solutions.
At Alas DOO, I served as the sole Frontend Engineer for a cross-functional team of 5, with full ownership of frontend architecture and implementation choices. I built the company’s marketing website from scratch using Next.js, handling SEO optimization, multi-language support, URL filtering strategy, and state management decisions, while also acting as the primary client liaison with frequent direct communication.
Previously at Vega IT, I delivered CMS-based projects integrated with Umbraco, implemented end-to-end Algolia search independently, and worked across features in React and GraphQL. I also contributed to a health-tech platform using React Query for server state, built UI components documented in Storybook for an aviation project, and supported AA accessibility standards (WCAG) on client deliverables.
