What I'm looking for

I want to own end-to-end frontend features for high-load, real-time products, collaborating with backend for API contracts and shipping performance-focused UI with strong testing and maintainable architecture.

I’m a Frontend Engineer with 7+ years of experience building complex, high-load product interfaces with React, TypeScript, and Next.js. I specialize in real-time data (WebSocket) and demanding client-side business logic for fintech and crypto-trading platforms.

I own features end-to-end—from requirements analysis and technical design through API-contract alignment with backend teams to production release. I collaborate closely with product managers, UI/UX designers, and QA, then ship reliably with a strong focus on performance and maintainability.

I’ve built and evolved state management (MobX and Redux patterns), improved performance via rendering/data handling optimizations, and reduced technical debt by extracting reusable logic. I also help teams standardize UI patterns by migrating components and using shared tooling like Storybook, with testing across Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, and Playwright.
