What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote frontend role where I can build and modernize Angular products, improve accessibility and performance, and collaborate with distributed teams across LATAM, US, and European time zones.

At EPAM Systems, I build production Angular search experiences for SAP.com, including reusable embeddable components, Coveo Headless integrations, OpenSearch-backed REST services, and Microsoft Entra ID authentication.

I modernized enterprise applications from Angular 20 to 21 using Signals and zoneless change detection, cutting initial bundle size by 23–40% and reducing Total Blocking Time by up to 52%. I also improve accessibility through semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, and focus behavior, collaborating with distributed EPAM and SAP teams through releases.
