Alexandru Leșan
@alexandrulean
Senior frontend developer specializing in Vue/TypeScript and production-ready, incident-owned web apps.
What I'm looking for
I’m a frontend developer with 6+ years of hands-on experience building production web applications, mostly with Vue.js, Nuxt.js, and TypeScript, and I bring solid backend experience with Laravel, MySQL, and AWS serverless. I like owning outcomes end to end—debugging live problems, shipping fixes, and making sure communication stays clear for everyone affected.
Since 2021, I’ve been leading the frontend side on client projects in an outsource/agency setting, with growing full-stack and production ownership. On my current multi-tenant recruitment SaaS, I lead frontend development, designed a Vue 3 + TypeScript monorepo (Pinia, pnpm workspaces), and I root-cause production incidents across the stack (frontend, Laravel backend, and third-party integrations).
I focus heavily on engineering reliability and developer experience: I migrated the E2E suite from Cypress to Playwright, setting up a new 4-tenant test architecture and a CI workflow with 195 tests running green. I also built and maintained 10+ ATS integrations and delivered AWS Lambda functions for image processing, event tracking, and PDF generation, with CI/CD using GitHub Actions and deployments via SST to S3/CloudFront.
I use AI tooling daily and build my own—custom Claude Code skills, MCP integrations, and scheduled agents that the whole team adopted for watching production errors daily with structured prompts and validated outputs. I review 50+ pull requests per quarter, mentor junior and mid-level developers, run internal Vue 3 workshops, and have also built products from scratch as a freelancer that are still in production.
