What I'm looking for

I'm looking for fully remote frontend work, either full-time or contract, where I can build and modernize Angular products, work async-first with distributed teams, and contribute to architecture, performance, code quality, and mentoring.

At REO, I own the full frontend cycle across two internal B2B applications and a public geospatial product, from architecture and reactive forms to release. I cut initial load time by about 40%, from 4.2s to 2.5s, through lazy loading, @defer, caching, and asynchronous module loading.

I've migrated around 50 modules to standalone components and Signals, maintained products through Angular 22, and refactored legacy applications to reduce technical debt. I also run code reviews, mentor junior developers, and help shape API contracts with backend teams.

Previously, I led frontend delivery for Nexus Automotive Russia's B2B platforms and built responsive web applications at Good-Bit and as a freelancer. I work fully remote, communicate confidently in English, and value clear writing, early risk-sharing, and practical trade-offs.
