What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a UI-focused role where I can build scalable design systems and component libraries, translating design to code. I want to deliver accessible, high-performance React/Next.js interfaces while strengthening developer experience.

I’m a UI Engineer with a strong background in design and frontend development, specializing in building scalable and consistent user interfaces. I focus on translating Figma into robust, reusable UI components that teams can rely on.

I’ve built and maintained design systems, component libraries, and design tokens (colors, spacing, typography). My work centers on UI consistency and scalability, with a strong emphasis on accessibility (a11y), performance, and developer experience.

In recent roles, I’ve created reusable UI components using React, Next.js, and TypeScript, while collaborating closely with designers for pixel-perfect delivery. I also support component documentation and quality through tools like Storybook, along with testing using Jest and Cypress.

Across enterprise and freelance environments, I’ve worked on modular UI systems, improved frontend architecture, and enabled better component reuse. I’m at my best when bridging design and engineering to deliver accessible, maintainable, production-ready interfaces.
